The ftp server on a web/mail/inet-gateway machine I am taking care of can no longer be accessed, ever since one of the secretaries decided to switch it off and on again because she could not access her files on a Windows server.
Is it possible that the FTP service is not set to start automatically on bootup and needs to be started from the command line?
Network daemons (servers) can be started from a start script (rc...something in suse linux), or from the inetd (or xinetd) process, whenever a conection is attempted.
From the comand line... well, unless it failed to start, it may be usefull
on a machine where there is normally no ftp server, but it can be manually started when somebody asks for it.

In this case, the ftp daemon is started from inetd. And it is running by the time the problem occurs. And I also tried starting it manually, without inetd, which produced the same result.
