FTP server

Hi,
I installed the FTPd server and the service is installed, but I get a
connection refused error when trying to connect to the ftp server. The
platform is Suse Pro 9.3.

I confirmed through Yast that the ftp server is installed and the service
is running. Can someone help me pinpoint what is wrong?

Thanks,
Bruce

Forgot to mention I can't ftp into the box locally either. I get a
connection refused. Makes me think the service is acting up.

I'm having the same prob as well. I then tried to run vsftpd and I get a
message saying it cannot bind to the ipv4 socket. Thought I'd come onto
the forum to search for the answer and here is Bruce with the exact same
problem. I'm not alone in this personal hell.

Dood,
I've made headway. You may need to create /etc/vsftpd and move your
vsftpd.conf file into that. I've done this and now I'm getting anonymous
connectivity with ftp.
Seems that vsftpd.conf has to be in its own
directory, /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

Hope this helps.
