FTP and telnet
I have just installed Debian 2.1 and need some advice on how to get FTP and
telnet working. For ftp I can see that inetd runs in.ftpd when an ftp
client attempts to connect, but the operation fails on the client side with
"Connection closed by remote host". On the server I have a user named ftp
in nogroup, and a home directory for it; what else am I missing?
I have the same problem with telnet: in.telnetd runs, then stops, and my
telnet client reports "disconnected by host."
I'm new to Unix and trying to put together a system for learning purposes.
I'm out of ideas on these two problems.
Thanks.
