are you trying to remote or local connect?

Meaning is your ftp at your ip or is it loaded on a server someplace?

My server is somewhere

I'm at home

Connection refused.

Turn it off and use Secure Shell

really i would have to know what your problem is?

did you get access to a server or did you buy and start your server from scratch?

Have you tried to ping the ftp port.. eg 21!

Dreamman010 · 04-23-2004, 11:34 PM

Do you have root access on that server?

If so, remove the comment off the following line in /etc/inetd.conf :

"ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l"

And restart inetd: killall -HUP inetd

Anyway its too hard to talk about the prob here, if you cant get in contact with your server support then i guess we could talk, i dont want to turn your attaction to someplace you have already looked... have you got some off line work to do? or ... i dont know!

anyhow you can also upload using ssh if you really need to upload right away before your server help responds

xenophobic · 04-23-2004, 11:44 PM

type sockstat, and see if inetd is listening on port 20/21
also check there is no firewall rules in place
ipfstat -io
ipfw show
make sure ipfw shows
65535 0 0 allow ip from any to any
and not deny (some have deny all by default)

Dreamman010 · 04-23-2004, 11:44 PM

Your inetd may not be working. Try just typing "inetd" and then see if ftp works.

how do you do that? I'm using putty

I just need to upload something and get it running tonight, the ftp and other stuff can wait till monday

xenophobic · 04-23-2004, 11:52 PM

either winSCP
http://allserv.rug.ac.be/helpdesk/so...inscp1eng.html
or sftp.exe

I'll be on for another 30 minutes, feel free to icq me if you are out of options 922-10-961.

Really you need someone to take a look at your server since it could take days to check the various things for someone who has never done it before.

Of course the real question is: Why isn't your host fixing this?

Because i didnt ask them to. I rarely need them for anything, but this new box simply isnt working like my other 2 freebsd servers.. I had no problems with them

guess I'll be emailing them now

xenophobic · 04-23-2004, 11:59 PM

although unlikely since you said it is a fresh install, if the firewall list is blank or not set to deny all by default check
/etc/hosts.allow
inetd in freebsd started with -wW flags will use hosts.allow as an ACL and could be that tcpwrappers are a problem.

good luck.

Mr Pheer · 04-24-2004, 12:06 AM

thanks for the help guys

I sent tech support an email, they fixed it in 3 minutes

but i kinda wanted to do it myself

JulianSosa · 04-24-2004, 12:06 AM

Do you not have icq?

np, did you ask them how it was fixed? so you can do it yourself?

xenophobic · 04-24-2004, 12:08 AM

you should use winscp/scp/sftp to transfer files anyway, nice and secure, I have run problems with transferring compressed files (gzips) over blowfish algorithm sessions though

Look its really great to hear that your ftp is working, if i was to start to tell you how to use ssh to upload, it will only waites time as you dont need to do it that way now!

Good Luck with your tonights update!

Cheers!
