OK. Put differently, you have the ftp service running on host A but not on
host B. You did something different when you set the two hosts up. I can't
even begin to guess what you *did* that was different, but here is where to
look for the effect.
First, check the file /etc/inetd.conf, and see if it has a line for ftp. See
if the entry on B is the same as the one on A.
Second, that entry will name a program (probably /usr/sbin/frpd, or
/usr/sbin/in-frpd, or /usr/sbin/wu-ftpd). Make sure the program named on
this line is actually on the system. (I don't use Red Hat and don't recall
its package-naming conventions. But you may need to look for ftpd .rpms, not
just ftp .rpms. In many cases, *d.rpm provides the daemons (server end),
while *.rpm just provides the client programs.
Third, the line probably also mentions tcpd. Assuming it does, that program
uses the files /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to control access. Check
them for anything that blocks access ("man 5 hosts_access" will give you the
details).
Fourth, am I right in guessing that you are attempting *anonymous& ftp
access? It looks from what you quoted like you are using a Web browser, and
they typically assume anon access. You may not have set up B to provide
anonymous ftp. Check you a user "anonymous" in /etc/passwd . Also check
/etc/ftpusers to see if you have restricted access in it.
One of these suggestions will probably turn up the problem. IF not, please
post a followup, bu next time with a somewhat more complete description of
your setup.
