Good morning, does anyone know how to help me? I have an endless problem. I installed ProFTP on a Lubuntu 24 machine, the latest version. If I scan it with nmap 127.0.0.1, it shows up fine. However, when I try to scan it from a Windows client in the LAN, it shows all the other ports like 22, etc., but it doesn’t show port 21. How is this possible? There is no firewall set up on the machine, and there are no specific antivirus programs or blocks on the Windows machines. Also, there is no firewall on the Lubuntu machine that hosts the FTP server. This is my config file.
# If your host was NATted, this option is useful in order to
# allow passive tranfers to work. You have to use your public
# address and opening the passive ports used on your firewall as well.
# MasqueradeAddress 1.2.3.4
# This is useful for masquerading address with dynamic IPs:
# refresh any configured MasqueradeAddress directives every 8 hours

# To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes
# to 30. If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections
# at once, simply increase this value. Note that this ONLY works
# in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server
# that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd)
MaxInstances 30
# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
