[ltp] ftp: "No route to host" error

[M. Leo Cooper]

Well, I've been trying to get ftp to work for quite a while now.
It worked with RH9, but with the FC series I got "no route to host"
errors.

Googled the error message, and after a bunch of false fixes, found the
right one. Got to temporarily disable iptables.

As root,
   service iptables stop

On the particular server I was trying to connect to, I also had to
disable passive mode.

Remember, to re-enable iptables after you've finished ftping.
As root,
   service iptables start


Hope this is of use to somebody.
