First things first: # rpm -qa | grep ftp This will tell you if you have a ftp server even installed. Depending on what kind of install you did, you may or may not have installed one. If you installed an ftp server, it is almost certainly disabled. Most services are turned off by default for security reasons. If you do have one installed, check to see if it is running: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ewilts]$ netstat -an | grep 0.0.0.0:21 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN Most ftp servers usually run out of inetd/xinetd, and netstat will tell if anything is listening on the port. If it is running, then you've probably got a firewall issue since firewalls (such as iptables) typically block ftp by default. If it's not running, but you have the server installed, configure it before you go any farther. wu-ftpd and vsftp both should be configured to give you the type of access you need. Now check to see if the server is scheduled to start at boot: # chkconfig --list | grep ftp If you see 3:off, then it's not set to start. Enable it with: # chkconfig <servicename> on Now reload xinetd to get it to reread its config files so that you can connect via ftp" # service xinetd reload Incidentally, you mentioned the customer's 7.3 (2.1 AS) server. Those are very different OS releases! -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
