"Which ftpd are you using? ProFTP? Something else"
What? There is more than one? I should have known that I have too
many options and flavors <G>.
This is *nix:) There are many of everything.
After talking a look, I have the default "vsftpd" running.
And, yep, configuring the file that I didn't know I had "vsftpd.conf"
did the trick.
Thanks

<<<Are you using vsftpd? If so there is a config file /etc/vsftpd. By
default
only anonymous FTP is enabled. You probably want to uncomment two
lines:
# Uncomment this to allow local users to log in.
local_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
write_enable=YES

I did create some users. When I try to enter a username when prompted
by the CMS FTP client, I get:
USER (identify yourself to the host):
tom
USER tom
530 This FTP server is anonymous only.
Command:
Where things seemed to be turned on, by default with Linux 7, they
seem
to be turned off by default with Linux 8.

What sort of error message do you get if you try to use something
other
than
"anonymous"? Did you create users on the Linux system? I have SLES7
installed and the ftp daemon works just fine. Both from a CMS id and
from my
Windows desktop. But I must use the id that is set up on Linux. Not my
CMS
or Windows id.
