bobcent : 20/11/01 05:13 PM : Incident created -   Hi, I am ABLE to access my Linux server from a PC with FTP, but I am UNABLE to access my Linux server from a Macintosh with Fetch v4.0 (or any other version of Fetch). I get the following message: "Connection was refused by the server." There are several Fetch options including cleartext passwords, kclient, GSS and encrypt, none of which make it work. This has not always been a problem as everything worked fine with Mandrake 7.0 when I had that installed. Thanks!
Linegod_7611 : 21/11/01 10:13 AM : More info requested -   Which FTP server are you using? And could I suggest trying the latest 'proftpd'?
bobcent : 21/11/01 03:24 PM : More info provided -   Thanks for the reply. I am running the default FTP server that comes with Mandrake 8.1. How can I determine which FTP server I am using? The command <ps -aux | grep ftp> comes up empty.
Linegod_7611 : 21/11/01 05:24 PM : Reply received -   You are most likely running wu-ftp, but it won't show up in 'ps', as it is launched 'when needed' by xinetd (do a 'rpm -qa|grep ftp' to see what ftp programs are installed)
bobcent : 21/11/01 09:01 PM : More info provided -   Thanks for staying with me on this...'rpm -qa|grep ftp' -results-> 'ftp-client-krbs-1.2.2-11mdk', 'gftp-2.08-1mdk' and 'lftp-2.4.1-2mdk'
Linegod_7611 : 22/11/01 01:54 AM : Reply received -   OK, that's weird, there doesn't seem to be an FTP server installed, all three of those are FTP clients, but you are connecting fine. Did you do an upgrade from 7.0? It might be possible that it is using an FTP server I am unaware of. Can you do a direct search for 'wu-ftpd' (rpm -q wu-ftpd), and if it is there, uninstall it ( rpm -e wu-ftpd ) and install proftpd and proftpd-anonymous (if required), and see if you have better luck. Even if you don't know which FTP server is installed, attempting to install proftpd should generate a conflict with whichever FTP server you currently have installed, and this would tell you which one you have.
bobcent : 26/11/01 05:27 PM : More info provided -   I can now login to my server with FTP from my Mac. I don't know what service was allowing me to login from a PC, but now that I have installed WU-ftp from the #2 Mandrake v8.1 disk, I can FTP from my Mac too. It's odd that this did not get loaded at install time (a fresh installation on a new HD). In any case, thanks for your help and informing me about Pro-FTP. I will migrate to it if/when WU-FTP becomes a problem.
