Network beggining

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 12:54 PM

There is no any other account in that machine except the root user .

And I tried ftp xxx.xxx.x.2 from the xxx.xxx.x.1 it say connection refused .

mmm... lets go a few steps back: when you typed ftp localhost that worked ok right ?
On what machine was that, and what IP address did that one have?

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 12:58 PM

I mean I can't try from the other hand because it has no regular user .
It has only root user .

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 01:00 PM

It was in my machine the xxx.xxx.x.1
"ftp"ing the xxx.xxx.x.2

And yes it worked very well .

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 01:01 PM

Now, lemme see if i got this right:

you typed ftp x.x.x.2 on your x.x.x.1 machine, and that worked ok?

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 01:03 PM

Sorry didn't quote you

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 01:06 PM

Anmar: Please. I am really getting confused now.
So, if you want me to help you, please do as I tell you to, and nothing else.
Otherwise I mix up things.

on the machine where you have normal users:
What is the ip address?

I gave it one more try, Didn't work .

It work only when I type:

ftp localhost

But the following doesn't work after the local host thing:

ftp> x.x.x.2

When I ftp x.x.x.2 it takes me to this:

$ ftp 192.168.0.2
ftp: connect: Connection refused
ftp>

That happens when I'm already logged in as a regular user (Not root user)

What do you think ?

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 01:16 PM

This is really my last shot, because, as mentioned before:
You are really confusing me.

I am trying to help you here, but you give the wrong information.
Again:

Step by Step:

on the machine where you have normal users:
What is the ip address?

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 01:21 PM

x.x.x.1

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 01:22 PM

Ok.
On that machine, type :

Code:

ftp localhost

What happens?

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 01:27 PM

It asks me for a username and password,
I gave it what it wanted then it said login successfull
Then it shows this:

Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp>

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 01:29 PM

OK great! when you still have the ftp-prompt, just type 'bye'

when you are back in the "normal" prompt , type:

Code:

ftp x.x.x.1

where the x.x.x. are the numbers representing your network. (probably 192.168.1.1)
Does that work also ?

Anmar · 09-11-2003, 01:33 PM

Login successful and it did the same thing .
It's OK .

But I have to k'now something please .

x.x.x.1 is the ip for this machine .

Is that what you are trying to do ?

Satriani · 09-11-2003, 01:36 PM

Yes, I wanted to check if your ftp server was listening on localhost as well as your eth0 address...

Now, the next step is :

Go to the other machine (Meaning go and sit physically behind that one), and type:

Code:

ftp x.x.x.1

Again, x.x.x representing your network

You should see a login prompt for ftp.
(still with me sofar ? )
