Yes, this is what shows:

Quote
Status: active

To                         Action      From
--                         ------      ----
21/tcp                     ALLOW       Anywhere                 
22/tcp                     ALLOW       Anywhere                 
21/tcp (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)             
22/tcp (v6)                ALLOW       Anywhere (v6) 

Also have after sudo iptables -L
Code: [Select]
Chain ufw-before-input (1 references)
target     prot opt source               destination         
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere           
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere             ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ufw-logging-deny  all  --  anywhere             anywhere             ctstate INVALID
DROP       all  --  anywhere             anywhere             ctstate INVALID
ACCEPT     icmp --  anywhere             anywhere             icmp destination-unreachable
ACCEPT     icmp --  anywhere             anywhere             icmp source-quench
ACCEPT     icmp --  anywhere             anywhere             icmp time-exceeded
ACCEPT     icmp --  anywhere             anywhere             icmp parameter-problem
ACCEPT     icmp --  anywhere             anywhere             icmp echo-request

So I can't understand why a Ping is not responded to.

Then when you check the firewall status you will see in the Rules the numbered rules for the ports you have set to open (to allow traffic) for using ftp.

Yes, it was disabled.  I edited my previous post if you didn't see regarding ping.

You wrote you rebooted after disabling the UFW, did you check the UFW status after rebooting to see if UFW was enabled again on reboot ?
for the command

Code: [Select]
sudo ufw allow ftpit needs to say

Code: [Select]
sudo ufw allow port-number-hereReplacing port-number-here with the actual port number.
for example 20, 21, 990, 40000, 50000 as per the tutorial (second link)

Ok thanks I'll read the tutorial.  I am just perplexed why I can't even ping the LL machine even with the firewall disabled??

Could there be any other security subsystem preventing this?  I haven't used Linux in years since I had an old Gentoo installation and never had a problem interfacing between machine then but I haven't kept up on changes since then.

Hello,

I have set up Linux Lite and have been using it for about a week.

I now want to set up ftp access to the computer.

I installed vsftpd and edited /etc/vsftpd.conf and can login through localhost.

But when I tried to ftp in from another machine in the house, it couldn't connect.

After some research I used ufw to allow ftp with:
Code: [Select]
sudo ufw allow ftpbut after restarting the firewall I still can't reach the Linux Lite machine from the other computer.

From the other computer I can ping the router 192.168.0.1 and www.google.com so I know it's working but can't get a ping response from the Linux Lite machine. 

So I disabled the firewall with
Code: [Select]
sudo ufw disable and restarted the computer.  Still can't get a ping response from the Linux Lite machine.  The Linux Lite machine can ping the other machine, router, google.com, etc.

What can I do to get my other machine to ftp and ping the Linux Lite machine?  Thanks for any help you can offer.  I'm tearing my hair out with this one (the little I have left lol)
