Infrastructure Software

Hi all,


I encountered with a FTP problem.

Basically I was trying to use wget to download files from one of my servers.

Using wget from http worked. and from ftp it didn't.

I tried to access the machine with the command ftp.

root@netra126 []# ftp 10.56.22.8
Connected to 10.56.22.8.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
ftp>


I don't know what this error means ( I tried to look for it but didn't find)

After executing the ftp command I execute netstat -na | grep .21 on the server and i can see that it's listening.
But refusing to let me in.

root@sh-v210-06c [etc/ftpd]# netstat -na | grep .21
10.56.22.8.21 10.56.23.160.32842 49640 0 49640 0 TIME_WAIT
*.21 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
*.21 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
60001dd21d0 stream-ord 00000000 60002563c80 /tmp/.X11-unix/X1


I read a lot about ftp, and checked all the files needed : /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess , /etc/ftpd/ftphosts , /etc/ftpd/ftpusers and they look fine.
I didn't see any configuration preventing access from in going connections.

Any ideas??


Thanks!!!!
