Topic: Change FTP Server..

[Alex Henriksen]

Hello from Denmark..

I have try to change ftp server on my e-smith 3.1 system, but with no luck..
I like to use glftpd as a ftp server, for there is a Win9X interface, so i can manages it from there...
But, even if i have delete the old server, i keep getting unknown service.??
That's not all, even if it seen like the server is up and running, i get a error in the log
ftp refused connect from 127.0.0.1 and
glftpd refudes connect from 127.0.0.1 .?????

No matter what ftp system i try, it says the same..?? Im lost..

If i use the Proftpd, it work's, but i don't like the server...-))
To hard to config...

and yes, i have retype the inetd.conf, services..

Look's like this..

services
ftp-data 20/tcp
glftpd 21/tcp

and inetd.conf
glftpd stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /glftpd/bin/glftpd -l -o -i

Well I'm not sure that you should expect support when you are
making such changes, but we'll see if we can help you...

Change the last line back to "ftp 21/tcp".

You will need to have an entry for glftpd in /etc/hosts.allow.
Make sure you read about customisation on www.e-smith.org -
change the template for hosts.allow, not the file itself.

You will also need to change the inetd line so that it again starts with "ftp".
