Hi folks, I have a question which is probably elementary to most of you. I tried to ftp and telnet to my linux computer from another computer in order to transfer a large file, but I got connection refused. As far as I know I disabled the firewall on my linux box to allow me to telnet or ftp. I typed the line command as follows for ftp. ftpnumerical address and hit inter. I did the same with telnet and also got connection refused. any ideas on how to go about that Regards, Cris?
