Well, try looking at the FTP server's logs. > I've tried adding the lines to rc.local echo " ftpd" && ftpd -D If you've used that line literally, it won't work if ftpd isn't in the PATH (since it's in /usr/libexec it might not be, unless you've changed the PATH). If you can see it running and listening on port 21, it's fine, otherwise try changing it to echo " ftpd" && /usr/libexec/ftpd -D Also, please try to use a more helpful subject line on your messages to freebsd-questions, I have changed it to something more appropriate. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
