can't connect to my ftp - - unknown error number
so I am running suse linux enterprise 9, and pure-ftp. I made sure that the ftpd is running. When I try to connect to it, I get ftp: connect: unknown error number.
When I allow anonymous in the config file, I can connnect, but can't log in as anything but anonymous. At one point, I had it so I could log in as a user, and change directories, but an ls would return something like "could not display the contents of .."
I'm sure I just need help with the config file, I would be happy to post it, or email it.
Thanks.

Check if you have configured the user config file correctly
also check out /etc/pam.d/ and see how you are authenticating ftp users

could you be a little more specific? I'm not a total linux newbie, but where is the user config file, and what in pam.d am I looking for. Thanks for the help.

so, I changed a few things, and now I can login as a user, and see everything down to the /srv/www directory, and cd into htdocs from there, but then when I do an ls is says unable to read .
maybe a permissions thing?
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 136 Oct 12 07:39 cgi-bin
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 128 Oct 12 07:32 htdig
drwxrwx-wx 4 root ftp-users 496 Oct 13 09:24 htdocs
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 144 Oct 12 08:23 icons
mail:/srv/www #

got it!
I chmod 755 htdocs and chown root:root htdocs
that worked.
