I know this probably isn't the proper User's Group for this question, but I'm sure some of you are using Linux Mandrake. So here goes.
I have a Microsoft PC which uses FTP Explorer to connect with another Linux PC. (I do my development on the Linux PC and transfer the zImage to the Microsoft PC). I've been able to do an FTP connect with no problems for many, many months. But now when I try to connect to the Linux PC, 9 out of 10 times, or even worse, FTP Explorer can't connect. And if it does connect, the connection is closed after a minute or so. I can FTP with other PC's, so I know the problem is with the Linux PC. It's been like this for 3 weeks now. I remember 3 other times, over the past year, when this difficulty with FTP connecting would occur, once on 3 separate days. On those occasions, I just rebooted the Linux PC, or waited overnight, and the problem went away. Then I came in on a Monday 3 weeks ago, and now was acting like it is now, almost impossiblt to connect, and if able, the connect gets closed. Anybody have any idea what would cause this? How to fix this? Is the FTP daemon goin' crazy? Why would it sometimes let me connect, but rarely, and when I do, the connection is quickly closed?
