I have root shell access, via a specific middle host, so as to disallow SSH access from anywhere but that one host.
I can confirm that logging on to the ftp site(s) from this route also fails in the same way.
I have just checked and there is no iptables folder but there is a file in there called iptables-config and it looks like this:
(I don't think there's anything foolish to post here here but if you spot anythng perhaps you could let me know asap :-)
# Load additional iptables modules (nat helpers)
# Default: -none-
# Space separated list of nat helpers (e.g. 'ip_nat_ftp ip_nat_irc'), which
# are loaded after the firewall rules are applied. Options for the helpers are
# stored in /etc/modules.conf.
#IPTABLES_MODULES=""
# Unload modules on restart and stop
# Value: yes|no, default: yes
# This option has to be 'yes' to get to a sane state for a firewall
# restart or stop. Only set to 'no' if there are problems unloading netfilter
# modules.
#IPTABLES_MODULES_UNLOAD="yes"
# Save current firewall rules on stop.
# Value: yes|no, default: no
# Saves all firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables if firewall gets stopped
# (e.g. on system shutdown).
#IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_STOP="no"
# Save current firewall rules on restart.
# Value: yes|no, default: no
# Saves all firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables if firewall gets
# restarted.
#IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_RESTART="no"
# Save (and restore) rule and chain counter.
# Value: yes|no, default: no
# Save counters for rules and chains to /etc/sysconfig/iptables if
# 'service iptables save' is called or on stop or restart if SAVE_ON_STOP or
# SAVE_ON_RESTART is enabled.
#IPTABLES_SAVE_COUNTER="no"
# Numeric status output
# Value: yes|no, default: no
# Print IP addresses and port numbers in numeric format in the status output.
#IPTABLES_STATUS_NUMERIC="no"
ie. nothing, since it's all commented out.
