Hi there,
Ive recently installed RedHat Linux 7.3 with all its features ( all the packages ) into a PC.
When I try to connect to that PC throgh FTP( at a local network ), I got the message "connection refused" seems that ftp sever is not enabled. for prior versions of linux "e.g 7.0" the service is enabled by defult .
I tryed to look at /etc/ftphosts but it couldnt help me, also the man pages are not obviuos about such an issue
I will be thankful for your help

Regards,


Abid

you might want to check what your ip{tables|chains} script looks like.

Hi,

First check that you have wu-ftpd installed:
[root@penguin root]# rpm -qa|grep wu-ftpd
you must see something like
wu-ftpd-version

activate it:
[root@penguin root]# chkconfig wu-ftpd on

verify:
[root@penguin root]# chkconfig --list |grep wu-ftpd
wu-ftpd: on

restart xinted:
[root@penguin root]# service xinetd restart
Stopping xinetd: [ OK ]
Starting xinetd: [ OK ]
[root@penguin root]#

Try to connect now.

Hope this help,
Hicham

Salamo 3alaikom,

From RH 8.0 onwards, wuftpd was replaced by vsftpd. The same procedures would apply to the vsftpd software.
