Re: [MiNT] ftp server

[Peter Slegg <p.slegg@scubadivers.co.uk>]

I seem to have got ftpd working from inetd. I am not sure what
is different the only thing I think that might be different
is that I made sure that inetd.conf has unix line ends.

bash-2.05a# ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.
220 Milan FTP server (Version 5.56 Mon May 23 12:41:16 1994) ready.

Now to config the security.

What I have done so far.

In /etc/inetd.conf I activated the line:

ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.ftpd


then in /etc/sysconfig/net.services I added the line:

inetd

Now when I do kill -HUP <pid of inetd>  the inet process is started.
Then:

bash-2.05a# ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

I need to work out how to set up the anonymous user and default
dirs.

Peter
