FTP issue

[psych-major]

I recently re-installed Slack due to a hardware issue and I'm now unable to get into it from my Windows box via FTP.
To clarify:
Samba working fine from Linux --> Windows
Can ping and run PuTTY sessions Windows --> Linux
Can run VNC Linux <--> Windows
Can bring up the Apache default web page
But I can't get into the Linux box via FTP. I remember there being a simple technique to get this working but I can't remember it, and I didn't see anything pertinent in a quick fiorm search.

Incidentally, I ran nmap against the 'nix box, just for fun. Here's what I got:

C:\nmap>nmap 10.0.0.### -P0

Starting nmap 3.55 at 2005-01-27 14:55 Mountain Standard Time

All 1660 scanned ports on
******* (10.0.0.###) are: filtered

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2082.265 seconds
C:\nmap>

Any ideas?

What FTP server are you running?

I'm playing around with it.

[BonoboDougie]

how about the ftp port?
Somethings blocking it on your system.


Firewall?
and or have you looking at port forewarding for your server.

I haven't implemented any firewall, and I don't believe Slack includes one by default. I can successfully access the machine via PuTTY, web and VNC, on ports 22, 80 and 5900 respectively, but any type of attempt to hit port 21 is refused.

Could it be a networking issue, rather than FTP?

You probably need to enable FTP in /etc/inetd.conf, perhaps?

Find the line that says ftp in it, and uncomment it. See how that works out.

This did the trick, thanks!
