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

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)

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

-DM

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?

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 them

guess I'll be emailing them now

**xenophobic** · 04-23-2004, 10:59 PM

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.

thanks for the help guys

I sent tech support an email, they fixed it in 3 minutes

but i kinda wanted to do it myself

**JulianSosa** · 04-23-2004, 11:06 PM

Do you not have icq?
