wu-ftpd

Its possible that you don't have 10061 port open on your server. Most software opens the port it needs upon installation, but some doesn't. I'm not sure about wu-ftp. It won' hurt to add a couple of lines to /etc/services that says
10061 tcp wu-ftp
10061 udp wu-ftp

But more likely is that if there is a local firewall involved, the firewall isn't allowing 10061.

Hope this helps.

i suggest to first check whether the wu-ftpd service has been turned on because it is not necessary that the service turns on automatically once u install it. u could always check it out by viewing the status.
The other thing is that u should also check whether u hv properly configured the necessary configurationfile in the /etc/xinetd.d directory (file name:wu-ftpd). Here s the file if u want:

default: on
# description: The wu-ftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses \
# normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication.
service ftp
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
server_args = -l -a
log_on_success += DURATION USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
nice = 10
} hope that helps u...

Sounds like your Linux box is not allowing a remote connection. First, however, can you ping your Linux box from your Windows box and vice-versa? Yes? Good! No? Make sure, that if you are on a LAN that your IP's are on the same network. If this is a remote setup then make sure that your /etc/hosts.allow file gives permission to your remote host, this is true even for a LAN. I don't use wu-ftpd, I use the ftp that came with my RH7.I hve a line in my /etc/hosts.allow that looks like this:

in.ftpd: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

you can also check your /etc/hosts.deny file and see what you have set there. If there is nothing there you are wide open for any connection, (I learned this the hard way). My /etc/hosts.deny is set to

ALL:ALL

now, so only the remote locations I trust make it into my /etc/hosts.allow.

Good Luck,
Paul
