Lol, I should of at least checked the control center before I posted. But anyway, my firewall is totally off. ÂProFTPD seems to be running smoothly... but not letting me access. ÂAllow me to quote my previous post: <quote> Yo people. ÂI've got a Mandrake Linux 9.2 server running ProFTP v1.28. ÂI thought I had it all set up to run with anonymous FTP access (Using a sample /etc/proftpd.config from proftpd.org for now), and starting through xinetd... but apparently it isn't set up right, or at least it's not wanting to be just jiggy with me. ÂHere's my setup and what happens when I try to access the ftp site: <details> My config file is a standard example (temporaraly) that can be found at http://proftpd.org/docs/configs/anonymous.conf After copying the above file in to /etc/proftpd.conf, I restarted xinetd. (I know next to nothing about xinetd or how to run proftpd under it, but for what it's worth, there's a 'proftpd-xinetd' file in /etc/xinetd.d/) Here's what gets my relatively-novice Linux mind boggled. ÂSomething seems to be running, but I only sorta get an ftp connection when the client connects: At this point 'netstat -a | grep ftp' gives: tcp    Â0   Â0 *:ftp          *:*           LISTEN Seems chipper, from what I can gather from the limited proftpd howtos I've found. ÂWhen I start to connect with a client and do netstat I get (domains are aliased): tcp    Â0   Â0 [MyDomain]:ftp     [ClientDomain] ESTABLISHED The client says "Connected to [MyDomain] ([MyIP]) A few seconds later it goes: 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection </details> ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂNow this is probably way too much of the wrong info needed to solve my problem, which I suspect is relatively simple. ÂI'm obviously new to FTP and fairly new to Linux; but I need this FTP server up and (eventually) configured to my requirements.   Âany help? </quote> I'm starting to get pretty frustrated with this. ÂCouldn't I just skip the newbie part and know everything? ÂI'll probably show up this weekend asking how to get a POP3 server up, so if you have any pre-emptive tips fire away.     ÂThanx,         ES -- Registered Linux user #366862 Not that you care, but this message was sent from a 750MHz Athlon system running SuSE Linux 9.1 (Kernal 2.6.4) and KMail 1.62. ÂI aslo run Red Hat Linux 8.0 (Kernal 2.4.18), Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Kernal 2.2.20), Mandrake Linux 9.2 (Kernal 2.4.22), and YellowDog Linux 3.0 (Kernal 2.4.20) on various systems and architectures for various reasons. ÂYeah, and there's a old Mac OS in there somewhere that I use as a bootloader for Linux, and a Windows XP box used as a router for my Linux-based network, but they don't count, 'cuz they aren't "real" OS's. ÂWho me? Biased? Nah!
