Please change your character type to "us-ascii" and post in "plain
text" Now, in your /etc/inetd.conf, do you have FTP enabled? Also, do
you have the IP address of the Windows machines configured in
/etc/hosts.allow??? There's many different things you may need to do
to allow FTP access from within your network, not to mention OUTSIDE
your network, should you want that.... the above are just a couple
starting points...
