I can't ftp to my Linux server, and I found there doesn't has ftpd file, only has tftpd file, is ftpd necessary for my ftp connection?
My error message:connection reset by peer;
My inetd.conf:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ftpd -l -a

tftpd is the what will be run as the FTP deamon, and inetd will load it when requests come in on the port listed in your inetd.conf. I would start at the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files. /etc/hosts.allow lists the IP addresses that are specificly allowed to connect to services on your machine. /etc/hosts.deny lists the IP addresses that are specificly NOT allowed to connect to the services on your computer. Entries in /etc/hosts.allow take priority over entries in /etc/hosts.deny (e.g. if you set /etc/hosts.deny to 'ALL: ALL' and /etc/hosts.allow to 'ALL: 192.168.1.' all IP addresses except 192.168.1.x will not be allowed to connect).

tftpd is not the same as ftpd, it is a different protocol altogether. tftp is a very simple form of ftp that uses UDP and doesn't use authentication.

Oops. My bad

hy!

my /etc/inetd.conf says
-------------------------------------------------------
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.tftpd -l -s /tftpboot
-------------------------------------------------------
reboot and killall -HUP inetd

netstat -l says
-------------------------------------------------------
udp 0 0 *:tftp *:*
-------------------------------------------------------
nothing about LISTEN ! WHY?

rights on the /tftpboot ar 777 (just to trie)

help!
