We are having Linux7.1 and WinNT4.0 servers in our network. I am able to contact from through ftp from linux to winnt. It's asking username and password. I am giving correct username and password. But login is failed even for administrator account. While trying from winnt to linux it's saying ftp connection refused. Pls. give solution.

regards

First, I would have t oask what kind of FTP software are you using. I would suggest that you use a program such as SERV-U or Cute-FTP. In either of these programs you cna set up user accounts, create default directories, etc. When attempting to ftp to the ftp server, I find it easy to access it by specifying my user name/id:server name, such as :
jdoe:12345678@ftp.test.com

Not sure this helps or not.

I'm assuming your using redhat linux. in most cases by default ftp is disabled on linux. also root is by default not allowed to telnet in (for security reasons). what you need to do is go to /etc/xinetd.d and edit wu-ftpd. there will probably be a line that says disable = yes, change the yes to no.
after you do that you will need to restart the xinetd deamon or reboot the linux box. to restart xinetd enter "/etc/init.d/xinetd restart" at the command line.
