No flames, i cant milk cows,
But you are not very informative about how you have confiured the ftp
server, is there a line in /etc/inetd.conf as;
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a
and do you have in.ftpd in /usr/sbin ??
Do you have a directory call /home/ftp and subdirs as
d--x--x--x 2 root wheel 1024 Jun 13 1999 bin/
d--x--x--x 2 root wheel 1024 Jun 13 1999 etc/
drw-rw-rw- 2 root wheel 1024 Jun 28 14:59 incoming/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1024 Jun 13 1999 lib/
dr-xr-sr-x 8 root wheel 1024 Nov 21 16:59 pub/
