Hi eveyone, I'm haveing trouble getting my ftp
server working. First, a little background on my systems and set-up.
I'm working on my graduate project, which is essentially an intranet
application. My systems are simulating an intranet environment, two
computers connected by Ethernet The Linux/Server system (Red Hat 5.2) is set up
as a dual-boot with Widows '98 and the client system is running only Win
'98. The TCP/IP appears to be functioning correctly because I can serve
HTML pages off of the Linux/Apache server to the client via Netscape or IE
. When I ping the Linux system from the client, port 20 & 21 respond
and the ftp service registers as active. However, when I try to make an
ftp connection Linux seems to start some type of process and never returns the
client request. The log from WS_FTP on the client shows the
following:
- -
connecting to
192.168.1.200:21
Connected to 192.168.1.200 port
21
[24] from
192.168.1.100 port 1137
! Receive error: Blocking call
cancelled
! Connection failed 192.168.001.200

Linux's IP address is 192.168.1.200, the client's is 192.168.1.100. There is a long pause after the third line (approx 2 minutes)
and
then the connection is terminated. I spoke
with Tom Wallis about this and he helped me identify a couple of problem
areas. First in the /etc/inetd.conf file, the reference to /usr/sbin/tcpd
needed to be deleted because I don't have DNS service configured. Second,
I had made an incorrect entry in the /etc/ftpusers file. (Thanks again
Tom!) Unfortunately, I 'm still not able to connect after making these
changes. The line I have in the /etc/inetd.conf file to start the ftpd
is:
- -
ftp stream tcp nowait
root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd -l -A
- -
(I've also tried -a, same result)
I'm admittedly a newbie (one month old) but I've
researched this as much as I know how at this point. I'd really appreciate
your help getting unstuck. If you need other information to diagnose the
problem drop me an e-mail or call me at 393-7550. Thanks for
helping!!!
