how do i get wu-ftp to work?? (Debian Woody)
hi all!
apart from my PC running Debian i have an old Mac, and i need to
transfer lots of files using a crossover cable. the security issues
involving ftp are not important here because i just need to get this to
work temporarily.
i've installed wu-ftp using dselect. so far, i found some configuration
files in /etc/wu-ftp.
and there is the /etc/ftpusers and /etc/ftpchroot.
i get the gist that in ftpusers some users are excluded from doing ftp,
like root or anonymous.
i've tried commenting those lines, i've also tried ftp-ing as a
different user, however, all that EVER happens is this:
continuity:~# ftp 127.0.0.1
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
220 continuity FTP server (Version wu-2.6.2(1) Sun Mar 10 20:00:40 GMT
2002) ready.
Name (127.0.0.1:root): snip
331 Password required for snip.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp>
(i'm using 127.0.0.1 for testing to make sure there are no other
networking isssues involved in this. is that ok?)
i get the same effect when i comment the "anonymous" line in the
ftpusers file and try to ftp as anonymous.
in that case the message says, use your email as password, but then it
also fails.
in the readme there is mention of the ftpuser's home directory, so i
created /home/ftp . do i have to create a user called "ftp" or
"ftpuser" and set the ownership of /home/ftp to that user?
do i have to enter something into /etc/wu-ftp/ftpservers ?
what other config files might be important?
