OK. I've been through inetd.conf and enabled ftp, but can't connect.
I get the famous "connection refused' error. I seem to remember hearing
about another file needing to be edited to enable this, but can't remember where it is (old age).
Help!

Thanks.

There are more possibilities: The obvious one is /etc/ftpusers (you're not trying to ftp as root. now are you) ;-)
the other files to check have to do with tcp_wrapper: /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow. I guess you would know if ports are blocked by a firewall.
Copying files across can also be done, securely, with scp or sft,
sftp that is of course. Oh, forgot to ask: did you restart inetd after the change you made?

which both come as part of openssh.

cheers, Marcel
