FTP access - Login Failed

user503699May 30 2012 — edited May 31 2012
Hello All,

I am trying to FTP into a virtualbox guest that has Oracle Enterprise Linux installed. The host is Windows Vista.
However, it always gives me "Login Failed" error. Can somebody help?
In the past, I had done it by installing "vsftpd" package and it worked. However, I am wondering if I can do it without vsftpd (or any other additional packages).
Following is what I think are relevant details (but let me know if you need any more details):
Guest OS details:
[root@localhost ~]# lsb_release -a
LSB Version:    :core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch
Distributor ID: EnterpriseEnterpriseServer
Description:    Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Carthage)
Release:        5.5
Codename:       Carthage

[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-194.0.0.0.4.el5 #1 SMP Thu Apr 8 18:20:19 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

[root@localhost ~]# service xinetd status
xinetd (pid  3862) is running...
This is what I get when I try to FTP from host:
C:\Users\nsp>ftp 192.168.56.101
Connected to 192.168.56.101.
220- localhost.localdomain

Thanks in advance.
