SUSE 10.0, configuring a FTP server

[jdkoola 0]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if someone could give me pointers on how to configure a basic ftp server on Suse 10.0. I want to be able to connect from computers outside of my local area network.

 

What I've tried so far:

 

1. enabling vsftpd in the xinetd interface from Yast2: should I change any of the default options?

2. Enabling ports 20 and 21 in the Firewall configuration through Yast

 

I can connect to the ftp server but I can't do an ls in a directory.

 

Do I need to change any other options?

 

Is there an easier way using Yast to set up an FTP server?

 

I appreciate any insights.

 

Regards,
