I have tried to ftp into my machine (using ftp localhost) but it always comes back with a connection refused. I checked for ftpd using rpm -qa | grep ftp and it says ftpd-0.3.2-51 is installed. Anybody know why I can't connect Phil
do you have inetd running? if yes, check /etc/inetd.conf to see if ftpd is enabled.

Are you trying to connect from a Win box or a Linux box? If your trying to connect from a linux box, I suggest using ssh, it is more secure and better than ftp. David M. On Saturday 01 December 2001 05:47 am, you wrote:

You have to enable FTP, and you have to enable the correct one. As root, open /etc/inetd.conf (eg using pico) and uncomment the THIRD ftp line (assuming you are going to use the FTP server installed by default - the manual recommends this only for small-scale local use): ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/tcpd in.ftpd Note that there are three possible choices for FTP servers, and uncommenting the first two lines will not enable the FTP service unless you have installed those specific FTP servers. Save the file, and then (as root) run rcinetd reload The FTP server should now accept your connection. Best wishes Kevin
