Check out an make sure that localhost, localhost.localdomain and 127.0.0.1 are allowed to access the FTP server. From the console, enter: telnet localhost 21 What do you get? Do you get the same error message? What do you see in the /var/log/secure file, if anything at all? Or perhaps you should rather look at the /var/log/xfer file instead. Yes, the other problem you're mentioning appears to be related to name resolution issues. Try to FTP to the box using the IP address instead. You may need to add the name of the system to your /etc/hosts file in the other systems to make it work. ------------------------------- Nitebirdz http://www.linuxnovice.org Your place for tips, news, etc. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
