You don't mention what client you are using, is it a client that understands how to do secure FTP authentication like the ftp client in the MIT Kerberos distribution?
If you are not an FTP expert or a Kerberos expert (as you claim), then you should perhaps read the FTP protocol specs, in particular RFC 2228, which describes the security extensions for FTP which allows FTP to use GSSAPI (and TLS) for secure authentication.
Also, read up on GSS-API - RFC 2743, 2744.
http://www.ietf.org
By the way - the next release of wu-ftpd (2.8) will include GSS-API support...

Hi, I am an undergraduate student trying to write a piece of code of FTP server.Now, when client gives USER then server should request for password and them client should request PASS. Now,this system is not working and i think the reason is Kerberos. While "login" , client should send USER But client is sending to server AUTH GSSAPI AUTH GSSAPI AUTH KERBEROS_V4 AUTH KERBEROS_V4 and then its sending "User XXX"
I have Linux 7.2 with wu-ftpd. I am neither FTP expert nor Kerberos . What should i do to get system running? How to stop these protocols so that they are avoided? Is the prob is only due to Kerberos? What is GSSAPI?
Please help at your earliest Thanking you,
Regards,
