When I try uploading a file, I get the 500 PORT error. > Anybody have a working config? Or another simpler ftpd server? For these kind of jobs I tend to default to netcat (nc) or socat in listening mode, because of its simplicity. However, I am not familiar with OS/2 to know what it comes with. If it has busybox or you can install it there you can use busybox nc and/or busybox ftpd. In answering your question, I think the error you are getting is related to the client not using a passive connection type. Can you enable passive *after* it connects? ftp> passive ls Alternatives are the busybox ftpd service or tftp, both of which are relatively easy to run. -- Regards, Mick
