Do you have root access on that server?
If so, remove the comment off the following line in /etc/inetd.conf :
"ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l"
And restart inetd: killall -HUP inetd

Anyway its too hard to talk about the prob here, if you cant get in contact with your server support then i guess we could talk, i dont want to turn your attaction to someplace you have already looked... have you got some off line work to do? or ... i dont know!Originally posted by MrPheer

type sockstat, and see if inetd is listening on port 20/21
also check there is no firewall rules in place
ipfstat -io
ipfw show
make sure ipfw shows
65535 0 0 allow ip from any to any
and not deny (some have deny all by default)Comment

Your inetd may not be working. Try just typing "inetd" and then see if ftp works.

anyhow you can also upload using ssh if you really need to upload right away before your server help responds

I'll be on for another 30 minutes, feel free to icq me if you are out of options 922-10-961.
Really you need someone to take a look at your server since it could take days to check the various things for someone who has never done it before.
Of course the real question is: Why isn't your host fixing this?Does anyone look down here?Comment

Because i didnt ask them to. I rarely need them for anything, but this new box simply isnt working like my other 2 freebsd servers.. I had no problems with themOriginally posted by RK

guess I'll be emailing them nowComment

although unlikely since you said it is a fresh install, if the firewall list is blank or not set to deny all by default check
/etc/hosts.allow
inetd in freebsd started with -wW flags will use hosts.allow as an ACL and could be that tcpwrappers are a problem.
good luck.Comment

you should use winscp/scp/sftp to transfer files anyway, nice and secure, I have run problems with transferring compressed files (gzips) over blowfish algorithm sessions though

Look its really great to hear that your ftp is working, if i was to start to tell you how to use ssh to upload, it will only waites time as you dont need to do it that way now!Originally posted by MrPheer
