FTP errors

Hi,

I'm getting a weird FTP error.
When I do this command

Code:

root@server# ftp 0catch.com
Connected to 0catch.com.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
ftp>

I get the message

Quote:

421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

It's probably the install... something is wrong there. I'm on Archlinux, on a server I remote using SSH.
At home, with slackware, it runs perfectly fine and I can login without problem...

Is there some config I'd have missed (related to the network)?
Any thoughts?

Look in the server log file of FTP and see what was exactly happened when you was connection the FTP server.

Explanations of the 421 FTP error don't look like a network missed configuration.
