Thanks to those who have given me some answers, but I'm still having problems. Being the newbie that I am, that CAN'T be the problem. Anyway, here's what I have rpm -qa|grep ftp ftp-0.16.3 gftp-2.0.6a-3 ncftp-3.0beta21.4 anonftp-2.3-4 wu-ftpd-2.6.0-3 When I enter ftp "machine name" at the console running ftp, the error is "connection refused". This would seem to indicate that I have an access problem. I edited the ftphost and ftp access files, but still the same problem. When I go to another machine and enter "ftp "machine name"" I get the error message "Unknown host" which would indicate another problem. What gives? -------------- Have you done anything to secure this system? Any entries in /etc/hosts.deny? Any ipchains rules? Do you have any entry in your /etc/hosts file for the machine itself and other machines on the network? Are you running dns anywhere on your network? Have you tried just using these commands? ---> ftp localhost or ftp 127.0.0.1 I have ftp set up at my site and had very little editing to do in the ftphosts and access files... It was more removing the precise amount of security to leave me safe but accessible to my users. Let us know how it goes.
