If you're not going to run a public ftp server, consider using ssh and disabling both ftp and telnet. See http://www.openssh.com. ssh can handle both remote login and remote copy and is way more secure than ftp or telnet. It is especially recommended if you need these services on a firewall or other machine with a direct net connection. --Jon On January 04, 2001 at 18:02:56, Ed Panek wrote: >hello, > I just installed my Unix box at home to do proxy serving, however I noticed >something weird... > I can't connect to another computer in my network at home using ftp.
