Can telnet, but can not ftp...

[crgordon]

ok.. I have 2 machines running drake 7.2 on a lan. I can telnet to each other, but when i try to ftp into them i get the following..

Looking up 192.168.0.249
Trying 192.168.0.249:21
Connected to 192.168.0.249:21
220 localhost.localdomain FTP server (Version wu-2.6.0(1) Tue jan 4 19:41:20 GMT 2000) ready.
USER crgordon
331 Password required for crgordon
Pass xxxx
530 Login incorrect.
Waiting 30 seconds until trying to connect again

I have went to /usr/bin and typed in.ftpd
every thing seems like it is working.. it just will not accept my password, and yes im sure my password is correct and was typed correct:}
If telnet takes my password, why wouldnt ftp take it? please help.. :confused:

first, let me add to our previous discussion... if you are connecting to the internet without a firewall of some sort, running any daemon (server) on your box is a potential security risk...

look at a file called /etc/ftpusers (on my suse box anyway). this shows which users are not allowed to connect via ftp. obviously, root should be in this list, but check to see that crgordon is not... :D

edit:actually, any service, firewalled or not, is a potential security risk... just more so when not firewalled.
