are you running any servers ( ftp, telnet, etc ) on
your widows pc?
windows does not have built in ftp
none of the windows os run them on standard installs
- try downloading, installing, configuring and running
any of the "ftp
server" or "telnet server" from www.download.com -
I recommend the following (Fictional Daemon 3.3) - it
is both an ftp and a
telnet server
http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10069-100-911621.html?tag=st.dl.10001-1
03-1.lst-7-10.911621
also do a "ps -ef | grep [f]tp" and a "ps -ef | grep
[i]netd" on the linux
from a shell window to see if an ftp server (or inetd
server) is running on
the linux machine.
to ftp or telnet to a machine you need to run programs
called servers on the
target machines. the server runs continuously waiting
for connections from
"clients" - ftp, gftp etc.
