| paul-new 2002-11-26, 7:24 pm |
| i just want a simple ftp server to function between my linux RH8.0 and my
windows pc.
how do i start the ftp server ?
i can ping the red hat linxu from my windows pc
linux ip 192.168.0.1
windows ip 192.168.0.2
but when i run ftp 192.168.0.1, ftp hangs.
i also tried SSH, which i have the services run in RH8.0 but i cannot login
using SSH client at my windows pc.
my SSH client is dowloaded from
PuTTY SSH Client Website: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
the error on the SSH client is network error. i have not create any keys
nor did it prompt me to create any keys ?

It creates a set of keys on first run (ie when you run it without any keys
already there).

That would be usefull, also try to telnet or ssh to your linux box.
Have you disabled the firewall on the machine?

| ftp - just hangs
putty client - exits without a successful connection with
network error.
it could be the firewall or do i need to go to /etc/ ??? something to set it
up ?

Can you read? "Tell us the exact error message, word for word". Which
specific word didn't your brain successfully parse?

Did you install an ftp server?
" rpm -qa | grep ftpd " will tell you if you have.
Did you set a firewall when you installed? Any options selected on the
install screen?
" service ipchains stop " will shut off the firewalling set up
by the installer.
Did you enable the ftp daemon in xinetd?
" chkconfig wu-ftpd on " will enable it, assuming you installed
wu-ftpd. Substitute "vsftpd" for "wu-ftpd" if that's what you
installed.
Fixing your firewalling to allow ssh or ftp connections is more than
I want to get into.
