Re: Connection refused - why?

John,

If you don't have any files called "*ftpd" in the

/etc/xinetd.d directory are you sure you have

an ftp daemon installed on your system?

Once you've verified that then check that

the "*ftpd" file in /etc/xinetd.d has

'disabled = no'.

Also, check that /etc/ftpaccess allows your

other systems access and that you have

their IP addresses in /etc/hosts.

There is no such file on my system.
