Hi.
As root, I can access another machine here with ssh, but I cannot do an ftp connect.
eurit:~ # ssh 192.168.1.5 root@192.168.1.5's password: Last login: Wed Jan 1 09:33:44 2003 Have a lot of fun... linux:~ # logout Connection to 192.168.1.5 closed. eurit:~ # ftp 192.168.1.5 ftp: connect: Connection refused ftp>
How can I make an ftp connection ?. -- Erik Jakobsen

Bad habit. SSH is ill configured to allow root login. You should get used to using a user login and su for root privileges when needed. Look at sshd.conf and disable root login. -- _ _ __ _____ _____ ___| |_ | '__| / __\ \ /\ / / _ \/ _ \ __| -o) | | _ \__ \\ V V / __/ __/ |_ /\\ |_|(_) |___/ \_/\_/ \___|\___|\__|_\_v rsweet@garagenetworks.net "unix soit qui mal y pense."
