How do I enable FTP on Solaris 10
I am trying to ftp to a sparc server running Solaris 10 from another of the same. However, the target server refuses the connection.
The ftp service was disabled so I enabled it and checked the services stack (see below)
# svcs -l ftp
fmri svc:/network/ftp:default
name FTP server
enabled true
state online
next_state none
state_time Fri Feb 29 09:29:13 2008
restarter svc:/network/inetd:default
I also restarted the network
# svcs -l ftp
fmri svc:/network/ftp:default
name FTP server
enabled true
state online
next_state none
state_time Fri Feb 29 09:29:13 2008
restarter svc:/network/inetd:default
I also restarted the network
# svcs -l svc:/network/inetd:default
fmri svc:/network/inetd:default
name inetd
enabled true
state online
next_state none
state_time Fri Feb 29 09:29:11 2008
logfile /var/svc/log/network-inetd
restarter svc:/system/svc/restarter:
contract_id 4312
dependency require_any/error svc:/network/loopback (online)
dependency require_all/error svc:/system/filesystem/loc
dependency optional_all/error svc:/milestone/network (online)
dependency optional_all/error svc:/network/rpc/bind (online)
dependency optional_all/none svc:/network/inetd-upgrade
dependency require_all/none svc:/milestone/sysconfig (online) svc:/milestone/name-servic
I have checked that the user I am running is NOT in the /etc/ftpd/ftpusers file. Other than creating banner.msg file all the other files in /etc/ftpd are as they were from installation.
Any clues! ideas! etc on where I am going wrong here.? Anything appreciated (within reason)

If "svcs ftp" reports that the ftp service is in the "disabled" state, then you should be able to run "svcadm enable ftp" to enable it.
what do you mean when you say you "restarted the network"?
You show in the output that the service is enabled. On the system you are starting the service on, can you run
"ftp 0" ? Does that connect? If not, run the command "netstat -a | grep ftp | grep -v tftp" Does that produce any
output? You should see one or two ports that say LISTEN.

Usually, you do NOT use svcs / svcadm to manage internet services like ftp and telnet.
Instead, you use
# inetadm -e <service>
or
# inetadm -d <service>
to enable or disable the desired service, respectively.
