How can we allow ftp protocol for my users.
Or do us all (ISP, hosters, your clients) a favor and switch to SFTP for file transfer. And no, I'm not talking about FTP/S (FTP with TLS/SSL encryption), but SFTP (subset of SSH service). It is SO much less hassle. FTP as a protocol is just a giant PITA.
If you have to, check you don't have a far too big passive ftp port range so you don't have to open up some thousands and thousands of ports.
