ftp: connect : connection refused
 

i recently installed Redhat Shrike and ran a command --

ftp localhost

but this doesnt work..

now how can i go about starting ftp services..
well one point i would like to mention is that i checked for services , where i didnt find any ftp command....

Probably you don't installed the right packages, try proftpd or wu-ftpd.

Theres a how-to:
http://www.linuxdoc.com/index.lxp?lx...ini/FTP%2ehtml

type:

# rpm -qa | grep ftp

That will tell you what ftp services you have installed, and we'll go from there!
