maybe related to pasv_address=0.0.0.0 .

I can confirm that the pasv_address is the problem when behind a NAT or routing otherwise

For my own purposes I hotfixed the problem with a Dockerfile as follows..

FROM garethflowers/ftp-server

RUN sed -i -r "s/0.0.0.0/my_external_ip/g" /etc/vsftpd.conf

...and then running this newly tagged/built container instead

it would be better to create an ENV variable somehow to set this variable in an easier way

I also had a problem due to pasv_address=0.0.0.0 being set by default. My containers are in a VLAN and my security cameras created 0 size files because of this. However I also had to remove the pasv_addr_resolve=YES line as well as I think that was setting it to expect a hostname instead of an IP address.

FROM garethflowers/ftp-server:0.7

RUN sed -i -r "s/0.0.0.0/192.168.1.5/g" /etc/vsftpd.conf && sed -i "/pasv_addr_resolve/d" /etc/vsftpd.conf
