I'm trying to transfer a turn-based video game (Galactic Civilizations 2.5) from an OS/2 Warp 3.5 VM to modern, but backwards-compatible ArcaOS5 https://www.arcanoae.com/arcaos/ atftpd seems to be the answer. Both the old OS/2 and the new ArcaOS5 have a tftp client. I've got both of them talking with atftpd on my Gentoo desktop, and it's transferring data as I type. Having said that, I really want to get an ftp server working, as a matter of principle. Please post your vsftpd.conf, and the output of "ls -al /home/ftp" to give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
