strange ftpd login problem
I am using a VPS service provider who is running: FreeBSD 4.6.1-RELEASE-p10 FTP server (Version 6.00LS) A user is having problems with FTP login using GoLive 6.0 on MacOS X. The user has no problems with other FTP servers. I tried a series of passwords and he tried each with the result being that only passwords that begin with his user name permit a successful login. I installed GoLive 6.0 myself under MacOS X and for me all passwords work on his account. So unless you have a hunch about this, I would like to be able to view the FTP sessions from the server side. Is there a way to arrange this using ftpd? I can use a different port if necessary. Alternatively I could manually emulate an FTP server if I could create some talk-style interface that his FTP client could connect to, but I have no idea how to do that. Is there a way to connect a terminal up to an incoming FTP port? Thanks for any help. -Kurt Bigler To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
