hi
i just can't figure out how to configure my ftp server.

Code:
[root@d199 etc]# grep 21 /etc/services
# 21 is registered to ftp, but also used by fsp
ftp		21/tcp
ftp		21/udp		fsp fspd
here is my running services

when i connect using ftp
Code:
[root@benchabane benchabane]# ftp XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Connected to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX).
220 ProFTPD 1.3.1 Server (ProFTPD) [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]
Name (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:benchabane):
this shows that i'm runing proftpd but i can't find it in the
list of running services.
Code:
[root@d199 etc]# service proftpd restart
proftpd: unrecognized service
[root@benchabane etc]#

Why would you guess you're running fsp? I'd never even heard of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Service_Protocol An obsolete early 1990's attempt to replace FTP , whcih was mostly used for porn and warez. You still thinking you're running that? ;-)

OK, so from that list of services, there is no ftp service listed. What have you actually done to make it work? Just looking at what you've provided, I'm inclined to think you've not installed any ftp server all and made no server side changes to make it work.

thx for your reply and the clarifications.
yes right but when i try to connect using ftp command ,here is what it givs me:

[root@benchabane benchabane]# ftp XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Connected to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX).
220 ProFTPD 1.3.1 Server (ProFTPD) [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]
Name (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:benchabane):


that means that I'm running ProFTPD.
and what mage me think i'm using fsp is this

[root@d199 etc]# grep 21 /etc/services
# 21 is registered to ftp, but also used by fsp
ftp 21/tcp
ftp 21/udp fsp fspd


and I'm sure that an ftp server is running.because it(s a web hosting server on witch i've 60 website!!
and besides this line from ftp command "220 ProFTPD 1.3.1 Server (ProFTPD) " ,all my clients can upload and download files in and from my server.that means that means that i have definetly a running ftp server!
thx for the reply again

Well you've not said that the IP you're connecting to is your own, rather than a totally unrelated machine. let's see what's actually running on your tcp ports?

netstat -plnt

yep, that'll be it then. Personally I'd suggest whipping that out and having your ftp server of choice run as a proper service.
