Connection to Server

plugin911 · 10-15-2007, 09:37 PM

I just installed Linux 9 and got apache, ftp, and telnet up and running. I can connect to each service locally but I am not able to connect from my windows computers.
Ping and tracert works fine using both the ip address and domain name for the server but I cannot get any connectivity if I try to ftp into it or open my index.html webpage.
I'm new to Linux and any help will be nice.
Thanks in advance!

You can connect to your linux server by installing putty or some ssh client on to your machine also from command prompt you can ftp to a linux machine.

hope this is what you are looking for.

Thanks all for your help. I found the problem to be with the firewall. The ports were blocked!
