How can I start ftpd on hpux? I have a server, its newly configured and I am trying to ftp some files to it, but its refusing the connection. Any one can give me clue?

By chance are you ftping to a server thats behind a fire wall?

Usually ftpd is a inetd controlled process.

Check:
servera:root /var/adm/syslog # cat /etc/inetd.conf | grep ftp
ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l

And make sure its not commented out. If it is, uncomment it and inetd -c

Also check /etc/services and check for port 21 is open.

are you able to do ftp as normal user
check /etc/ftpusers files also

first check ftp port is open
also try sftp instead of ftp
may your system is using secure ftp
