Well, there is a file called shutdown or .shutdown (or somethink like that. I can't remember right now) that denies any connection to the ftp server. If you remove this file then the wu-ftp will work normally. This file is intended for mantenance only and if it's present, wu-ftpd assumes it is shutting down and denies all ftp conections. > Also, please note the number in parentheses on my server (3): > - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 220 net1.netview.net FTP server (Version wu-2.4(3) Mon Jul 1 10:07:50 EST > 1996) ready. > - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > The cdrom.com server is a bit different: > - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 220 wcarchive.cdrom.com FTP server (Version wu-2.4(17) Sat Jun 22 21:37:48 > PDT 1996) ready. > - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > What does that mean?
