                                                     Troubleshooting
                                                ===============
7. If you see any error saying "couldn't connect to host"
 then enable port 21 in the yum server

          iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPTservice
          service iptables save
          service iptables restart

8. You should also enable the port 20
          iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 20 -j ACCEPT

9. If you can login successfully with the anonymous user but cannot list (ls command) the ftp or pub directory and "no route to host or entering passive mode is displayed" then
          #### remove the 2 lines from /etc/sysconfig/iptables

          -A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
