I installed vsftpd in my Linux Server 12.04. Unfortunately my firewall closed port 20 and 21. So I used the commands found here and other commands to open my ports. But I tested with nmap and I saw ports didn't open.

What can I do? I need to open these ports.

Some ISPs block ports 20 and 21, did you make sure your ISP allows them? – The Lord of Time Aug 8 '12 at 16:54

On the website there was these 2 lines

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp –dport 21 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp –dport 20 -j ACCEPT

Did you try just these 2? They should have worked.

Dosn't work. but I can solved my problem, I wrote 'iptables -F' in terminal and 'Listen 21' in /etc/apache2/ports.conf and then restart apache. Thank you – Peyman Aug 9 '12 at 9:24
Make sure your ISP allows you to use those ports, there are ISPs that will block those ports automatically. – The Lord of Time Mar 2 at 20:37
