RE: Wu-FTPd 2.6.1 Rehat server and client

["Scott, Richard" <Richard.Scott () BestBuy com>]

I've removed the firewall completely... and before I did, I relaxed all

What is strange, is I left the client hanging for a while and the NetOp:
Connection reset by peer occured.

Sounds like a classic case of MTU path discovery failure.  Was your
firewall blocking ICMP fragmentation needed messages (3/4)?
