ftp network


I can't get samba to work on my linux machine. I have 2 computers hooked up on a 100MB switch. I want to send files to the linux machine. Can I do this using ftp over the local network. Note: Linux is not my gateway the switch also is a firewall and router.

ftp from a win machine

Maybe I should have been more clear. I have a win2k machine with lots of files. I want to use a ftp program(cuteftp, leechftp, etc) on the win2k box to upload files to my /home/user directory on my linux box. Can this be done? Both computers have virtual IPs of 198.168.x.x because they are hooked to a router/switch. I already tried with the linux ip port 21 using my account name and password that is the same as the one on my linux machine.

yes, just run a ftp daemon (proftpd is my choice) on the linux box.

not sure what u mean by virtual ip's. if u can ping each other from either box and there's no firewall then i can't see the problem. u say u've tried accessing the linux box on port 21, if u'r not running a ftp server then obviously connecting to 21 won't work.
