Is it giving a user/password error? Do you see the login prompts (ie.
is it asking for a username).
Check the log directory, usually /var/log, when something is going wrong
most programs will tell you, you just have to look in the logs. Even
though these are text files, they are actually more useful than the
windows event viewer.
If you do not see a log file that looks like it belongs to your ftp
profrom (eg. vsftpd.log), check in the daemon.log if there is one.
Failing that try this:
grep -r -i ftpd /var/log/*
If you get a ton of things scrolling on your screen, you can redirect
the output to another text file, like this:
grep -r -i ftpd /var/log/* > /path/to/logsearch.txt
Of course the path and filename are arbitrary, you can call it whatever
you like, and put it wherever you like (/tmp is often a popular choice)
Cheers,
