I had difficulties transferring a large file (500MB) from a PC running Windows 98 to Knoppix server via SAMBA. Oddly, I can transfer a large file from Knoppix to Windows 98.

I read somewhere that it could be my NIC card (3COM589D). I spent way too much time debugging and decided to try ftp.

How do I enable ftp on Knoppix? When I try to ftp from Windows command line.
ftp <IP address of KNOPPIX>

It doesn't hang. Nrmally, I expect to see a prompt for username.
I don't seem to connect. It seems like it is using a different port (not 21).

Sorry for such a newbie post.
