ftp error

[Edwin Ruiz_2]

Hi!
I want to access using FTP into my server with Red Hat A.S. 3.0 but i get that message:

530 Must perform authentication before identifying USER.

somebody can help me?

This happened with I tried to connect using the microsoft built in ftp client.

I tried other clients and it worked fine. I checked the vsftpd.conf file made some logical changes and...

service vsftpd restart

Then it went away.

I have no idea, specifically what I did. I think it does have something to do with the Microsoft ftp client, the one built into Windows 98 and other consumer versions.

Hello Edwin,

in this case it looks like you do not have vsftp installed. Either load it from your installation CDs or get the RPM from the Redhat Network site.

Greetings, Martin

issue this command
telnet x.x.x.x 21
where x.x.x.x is the IP address of your ftp server.
This will tell you what server is listening (if at all).
also do
chkconfig gssftp off
it seems from other forums that it may help in your situation...
