Can't connect to ftp server

[Christine Zhao]

Hi everyone,

When try to connect to my ftp server the connection can not be established. It's said: connection closed by server. the in.ftpd is running and the telnet works fine. I use wu-ftp.

Any comments welcome!

Thanks.

?? in.ftpd shouldn't be running as a daemon, it should only be kicked off from inetd or xinetd as the service is required.

Are you using xinetd? If you are, check /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd and make sure disable is set to no.

Thank you, Bernie.

I didn't using xinetd.

Hi Chris.

Check your /etc/inetd.conf. You must decomment the line that shut up the ftpd.

#ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a

Also, the wu-ftp is an anonymous ftp services so you may connect with
username: anonymous
passwd: any e-mail account
