<p>32.97.110.142: </p> <hr /> <div>The [[knoppix]] [[ISO]] has an ftp server installed and running on it. However if you try to ftp to a knoppix machine you will get a connection refused message. There are two files that control ftp connections to the knoppix system. The settings in the /etc/hosts.deny file prevent access. The hosts.deny file is in fact a symlink to /KNOPPIX/etc/hosts.deny<br /> The last line of the hosts.deny reads<br /> <br /> ALL:PARANOID<br /> The stock hosts.allow file, on the other hand, has been configured to allow ftp access from the localhost that the [[knoppix]] [http://www.trypop.com dvd][[ISO]] was [[booting| booted]] on. You will have to change both the hosts.allow file along with the hosts.deny file in order to gain access via ftp. <br /> <br /> What you do is delete the symlink and restart inetd.conf <br /> <br /> Here are the necessary steps:<br /> * Configure networking from the menu<br /> * Open a console and set a password for user knoppix:<br /> <br /> passwd knoppix<br /> * Open a root shell enter this sequence of commands:<br /> <br /> rm /etc/hosts.deny<br /> rm /etc/hosts.allow<br /> /etc/init.d/inetd restart<br /> <br /> In Knoppix 5.1.1 the command is <br /> /usr/sbin/inetd restart, not /etc/init.d restart <br /> <br /> Now the ftp server is ready and from any client you can ftp to knoppix system, use 'knoppix' as user name and the password you set as password.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category : FAQ Page]]<br /> [[Category: Networking]]</div>
