root & users ftp login faild

[Jack_126]

Dear all,
Not able to ftp the server from root or any other user.
Tried following options.
1>/etc/ftpd/ftpusers this file not there.

2>/var/adm/inetd.sec this file not there.

3>/etc/passwd checked the shell its for root /sbin/sh & for users /usr/bin/sh.

4>/etc/shells this file not there.

any other thing which I can check to work with ftp.

Thanks in advance.

Jack

Hi,
I assume telnet to the machine in question works...
On the machine try establishing an ftp session to the machine itself: Do you get the same error? Are there perhaps further details concerning the attempt in syslog?

Has it worked before?

regards,
John K.

Dear All,
Its funny but worked. I just restarted the Server and it worked.

Thanks
Jack
