Try using the IP address (IPv4) directly. Also do you have ‘toad’ in your
/etc/hosts file and, if not, what does the following command return:
dig toad
dig -6 toad
Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I should have mensionned I did try with the
IP. Also, the definitions of that name have been in the “client” machines
since before the install of 11.3.

Hosts content is ok, or the connection would have worked with the IP.
I just solved it, somehow.
In Yast:
Security and Users
Local Security
Security Overview
Enable Basic (or extra) services in runlevel 5
There, I had to enable VSFTPD myself.
It works now, but I consider that eighter a bug, or a design flaw.
If there is such a thing as the FTP Server configuration tool, I’d expect it
to take care of all configuration settings surrounding the FTP daemon.
Just goes to prove that the more security you have, the less anything works.
Well, we got there in the end.
Thanks for reactions !
