hi, I just got my new box from ezzi.net, but I'm having trouble to get FTP to work.

I already setup everything besides FTP. it says connected, waiting for reply... but no login message.

here is what i did:
open port 21(add Listen 21 to httpd.conf, is this correct?if i don't do this, it says connection refused)

ifconfig eth0:1 216.128.87.114

configure /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd file disable = no

edit /etc/ftpaccess file,add following
virtual 216.128.87.114 root /home/site
virtual 216.128.87.114 banner /home/ftp/site/banner.msg
virtual 216.128.87.114 logfile /var/log/virtual/site/xferlog

but it's still not working. could u tell me what is missing to get it to work?

I really appreciated,
Kris

hi, ftp started to work! my question now is how to give "root" ftp access, it says login failed.

thanks again

blaha, you really don't want to give root access via FTP. Create yourself an account and define it's home directory, that's it :)

right now, the problem is:

after I create an ftp user, it doesn't have the permission to upload file, overwrite file, etc.

how do i change the permission of that user?
