FTP help please
I already posted this on the installation forum but I figure I can get more help over here where this belongs.
Anyway I have wu-ftpd going on my red hat box. I can connect to it from another box and from 127.0.0.1. I have tried logging out of root and still can't get it to work. Any suggestions

by default root is in the ftpusers file which means it is not allowed.
why would you need to use root to use ftp?
Just curious.

the question doesn't make a lot of sense to me... you tried "logging out of root"?
repost with a clean question and plenty of details, you'll get more imput. The answer that davidphillips gave sounds right, *if* i understand the question correctly.

Agreed -
Lots of times there isnt even a login prompt when attempting to connect from another machine (9x,nt) at command shell. If this is the case it could be related to the build in Firewall with 7.1 - but I need more info... Do you ever get a login prompt, and if so where from...
