Hello. Newbie here with many questions on ftp. I have been combing the archives of this list and linuxquestions.org and none of the solutions seem to fit my system. I recently upgraded (via fresh install)from RH 7.2 to 9.0. I am now unable to connect from other computers (macs) via ftp. I am able to connect with SSH and I even put the firewall settings (via the RH menu security level tool) to no firewall or medium but allow ftp and still cannot connect. Do I need to start the ftp deamon (don't know what that means!)? Which ftp should I even be using? rpm -qa|grep ftp gives me: ftp-0.17-17 gftp-2.0.14-2 lftp-2.6.3-3
ftp is usually a service started by xinetd only as required (i.e. when a connection is made).
To set xinetd to start ftp as an option, you may want to check out 'man chkconfig'.
Hint: look at 'chkconfig --list'.
I read that ftp is insecure as it shows the username and password to the network - is there something else I should use to move files from my mac laptop?
Any clarification/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
You mentioned you can ssh just fine so why not use scp?
do a 'man scp'
