I am not your personal assistant; I am just a FreeBSD user like you. Note that root cannot login via ftp, as a security measure. See /etc/ftpusers for a list of users that cannot log in. Make sure the user that is trying to login has a shell that is listed in /etc/shells. Anonymous ftp is not available by default, either. Read the ftpd man page to find out how to set up anonymous ftp. Make sure /etc/inetd.conf has ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -d -l -l and make sure /etc/syslog.conf has ftp.* /var/log/xferlog and then, as root, do: touch /var/log/xferlog kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid` kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid` Then you will be able to see all your FTP connection attempts in the file /var/log/xferlog. Good luck. - Mike ________________________________________________________________________ Mike Brown / Hyperreal | Hyperreal http://music.hyperreal.org/ PO Box 61334 | XML & XSL http://skew.org/xml/ Denver CO 80206-8334 USA | personal http://www.hyperreal.org/~mike/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
