 Well, in Linux you'd enable FTP on /etc/inetd.conf, by uncommenting the line related to the &quot;ftp&quot; service. I don't know how it is on Mandrake, though.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;Do you get a &quot;Service unavailable&quot; message after some time?

 Do you get a "Service unavailable" message after some time?

Are you sure it said &quot;Connected to 128.X.X.X.&quot;. Your loopback address should be 127.0.0.1<br />
<br />
Try 'ftp localhost' and post a comment with the response. Thanks<br />

I purchased a copy of Linux Mandrake 6.5. I am trying to enable FTP for file transfer.<br />
<br />
What do I need to do to get this up and running very quickly. I have used KBeroFTPD 1.0.0 to create the ftpaccess file. I have shut the server down and restarted it.<br />
<br />
When I trt to FTP from the system console, it hangs at the prompt:<br />
Connected to 128.X.X.X.<br />
<br />
Where did I miss the boat?<br />

How do I enable FTP on Linux-Madrake 6.5?

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
