Help setting up FTP and Ping to my Linux Lite machine

[timbuck2]

Hello,

I have set up Linux Lite and have been using it for about a week.

I now want to set up ftp access to the computer.

I installed vsftpd and edited /etc/vsftpd.conf and can login through localhost.

But when I tried to ftp in from another machine in the house, it couldn't connect.

After some research I used ufw to allow ftp with:

Code:

sudo ufw allow ftp

but after restarting the firewall I still can't reach the Linux Lite machine from the other computer.

From the other computer I can ping the router 192.168.0.1 and www.google.com so I know it's working but can't get a ping response from the Linux Lite machine. 

So I disabled the firewall with

Code:

sudo ufw disable

and restarted the computer.  Still can't get a ping response from the Linux Lite machine.  The Linux Lite machine can ping the other machine, router, google.com, etc.

What can I do to get my other machine to ftp and ping the Linux Lite machine?  Thanks for any help you can offer.  I'm tearing my hair out with this one (the little I have left lol)
