Thank you to everyone who have helped me out with suggestions on my problem.
I've decided to just re-install Redhat 5.2 on the system try to start from
scratch. I can log in to the linux box as anonymous and root now, but I
cannot "put" any files in my pub directory. I get a message that says "PORT
command successful" and immediately afterward get a "permission denied"
error. Maybe it's a problem with permissions? I can't remember the command
to check permissions on a directory off the top of my head so I'm stuck in
the water on that one.
I have checked my inetd.conf file and I do have a line for ftp services.
Also, I can ping, telnet to, and access linuxconf through my web browser
just fine. It's just this @#@$%# ftp server!!!!!
But, again, thank you to all that have helped me on this one,
Scott.
