Okay, I'm 99% sure you're right, Darron. If I try to connect from
another (windows) client, with "passive mode" enabled, I can login fine,
and view everything (in short, it works). I'll download the new sources
if I can't find a binary somewhere for 1.2 (actually, I might just
install 2.0...is there an upgrade option during installation ?).
Thanks to everyone for your help !!
Cheers,
Ripstop

You need to update your version of ProFTPD what you appear to have has
many bugs and security problems.
I think the problem you're experiencing is the 'passive ftp' problem
which is a known issue with older versions of ProFTPD (rc2 was the
problem version which you may have updated to - it says you have
1.2.0pre10 but that just may be in the config file).
You can either download the newest version and compile:
<ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/source/proftpd-1.2.4.tar.gz>
Or else you can download my updated src rpms (originally created for
YDL-2.0) and see if they recompile on YDL-1.2 - I don't have an old
YDL-1.x box available anymore to try it myself.
<ftp://ftp.froese.org/rpms/ydl-2.0/proftpd/1.2.4/proftpd-1.2.4-1.src.rpm

You could also try this SRPM:
<ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yellowdog-2.1/SRPMS/YellowDo
g/SR
PMS/proftpd-1.2.2-1a.src.rpm>
To recompile a SRPM you need to do this:
rpm --rebuild filename-src.rpm
Then you need to update your current RPMS with the rebuilt ones.
Good luck.
