ftp from windows to linux with was_ft not working

I had this working on windows but I had to reinstall ftp package on redhat linux it no longer works using the same settings.

Host 192.168.1.101

I get an error saying connection refused.

I can log into other ftp sites no problem, so I assume I have to modify some settings in ftpaccess or some other file?

Thanks

Conn refused is usually because the service isn't up on the expected port, a firewall is blocking that port, or you have inetd or xinetd set up to refuse access by the client to the server for that service.  Check that the service is running, , check the firewall config, and look at your inted.conf or xinetd.conf files.  One of those will most likely be the problem.

As -jer- mentioned, it's good to make sure that hosts.deny or hosts.allow isn;t causing you trouble, but on a reinstall I doubt it would be.
