[newbie] ftp not working 100%

[Troy T. Hall]

*sigh* it me again Captain Needa... I can't seem to ftp into the server now. I have hosts.allow set to "ftp: all" and hosts.deny says "all:all except 127.0.0.1:Deny which mandrake put there. When I try to tell it my password it just asks again.  Here is the relevant section of the log file and my proftpd.conf file.   I'm really glad you folks are here.   Troy ---------- Jan 11 14:53:35 genesis proftpd[7031]: www.camplighthouse.org (host-64-72-62-150.classicnet.net[64.72.62.150]) - USER troyh: Login successful.

Umask    022   # To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes # to 30.  If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections # at once, simply increase this value.  Note that this ONLY works # in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server # that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service # (such as xinetd).
