Hi hasitha and welcome to the forum,

Can you give some more information on your problem please.

For example :
- what are the symptoms when you try to connect (hang, error message?)
- can you ftp from other computers to the server (if you have no others, can you ftp from the server to itself)?
- can you connect to the server from the PC using telnet, ssh or some other means?

Hi Iain,
Thanks for helping me.
Well,for you first inquiry,when i use ftp client (WS_FTP) to connect to the server it says "Connect failure".

Also cannot ftp from other computers as well.

Connot connect to the server using telnet also.But using ssh i can access the server.

Thanks
Hasitha
