I would imagine the ftp server would have a log, e.g. /var/log/vsftpd.log. Others to look at would be messages, syslog, auth.log, and daemon.log. Another thing to try would be to attempt to connect to the Debian box and then type 'ls -latr /var/log/' on the Debian box. Those logs that were modified most recently will appear at the bottom of the list. Actually, it might be better to back up a bit and cover some basic questions: - are both machines on the same network? (ifconfig) - can they see each other? (ping) - is an ftp server running? (ps) - can you connect to it from the localhost? (ftp localhost) - is the port open? (netstat) Regards, - Robert
