Sigh. Another time the old "sudo yum update" breaks something... All of a sudden, ftp does not work if I'm connected to the net using a vpn. And it's very specific: I can connect, log in, list a directory, etc. However, I can't "get" or "mget" a file. Here's what happens: [user@localhost ~]$ !f ftp www.billoblog.com Connected to www.billoblog.com (50.7.12.26). 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2) Name (www.billoblog.com:<defaultname>): <acctname> 331 Please specify the password.

Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> get IMG_20140701_144826.jpg local: IMG_20140701_144826.jpg remote: IMG_20140701_144826.jpg 227 Entering Passive Mode (50,7,12,26,69,220) 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for IMG_20140701_144826.jpg (2330742 bytes).

Here's what lsof -P -i shows: ftp 7623 <user> 3u IPv4 175388 0t0 TCP localhost.localdomain:35272->hope.billoblog.com:21 (ESTABLISHED) The target machine is running CentOS 6.4 with vsftpd. I'm running Fedora 20. Here's uname -a: Linux localhost.localdomain 3.14.9-200.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 26 21:40:51 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux VPN is openvpn. It worked fine until my last set of updates. Works fine if I don't use a vpn. I run a roundcube server on the same machine, and I can download images I receive in emails using the roundcube server, even if I go to the web page through the vpn server. A quick Google search provided some old stuff, but it wasn't very helpful. Any pointers on how to research this?
