Hi,

I have check the iptables and confirm the ssh port open. tried to enable ftp ports as well but couldn't get thru as well. tried stopping the firewall, but still cannot get thru. but other default ports like 80, 443 etc still function with/without the firewall running.

What could be causing this problem?

And, for FTP access, which account to use for the login ID?

Re: ssh not working

- Could you please show us your iptables rules with command "iptable -L -n"?
- Is SSH service running on this server? Can you login via SSH service on localhost? e.g. command "ssh localhost".
- iRedMail doesn't install and configure FTP service, you have to do it yourself.

Your SSH service is not running.
