− | ==== Q: How to setup FTP on Knoppix ? ====
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | A: Knoppix has the FTP server up and running when booted. However, because of the security reason, it was locked so that you cannot ftp to the server.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ----
| + | |
− | '''Caution:''' You have to understand that the FTP is not secure and you may consider using other ftp product instead. (i.e. vsftp is a good choice)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | However, for a home-based closed local network, who care? Or if you have the same machine as I have, you do not care too.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | My machine: an old Pentium 3 PC with '''no hard-drive''', 512 MB RAM, Knoppix cd on the cd-rom. If something went wrong. I simply press the reset button and reboot knoppix from cd. That's the beauty of Linux Live CD, isn't it?
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ----
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The following steps were tested using Knoppix 4.0.2, 5.0.1 and 5.1.1
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ----
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The information here may not be 100% correct, but it works for me. However, if you find something is wrong. Please let me know. Thank you.

− | '''1. Setup knoppix password'''
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | $ sudo passwd knoppix
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | It will ask you to input the password twice.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Knoppix booted with no password setup on the knoppix id. But you need one for ftp login, don't you?
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''2. Modify file /etc/hosts.deny'''
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Edit the file /etc/hosts.deny, comment the line "ALL: PARANOID" and then save the file.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | $ sudo vi /etc/hosts.deny
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | # ALL: PARANOID
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''3. Modify file /etc/hosts.allow'''
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Edit the file /etc/hosts.allow, change the line "ALL : ALL@ALL : DENY" to the following line and then save the file.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | $ sudo vi /etc/hosts.allow
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ALL : 192.168.1.* LOCAL : ALLOW
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Here I open up the server to all machines inside the subnet 192.168.1.*
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''4. Restart the inetd daemon'''
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | For knoppix 5.1.1:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | $ sudo /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | For knoppix 5.0.1 or older:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | $ sudo /etc/init.d/inetd restart
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Now the FTP server is ready for logon, go to one of the other machine in the subnet and you should be able to connect to the server via FTP.
