FTP connection refused

[ss_barryk]

im at a bit of a loss.. been reading the forums and still no futher

have setup the host name and domain, turened off APF resinstalled and reconfgured.

tryed from ssh etc via both ip and domain

restarted iptables, psa and xinetd and whole server and still nothing..

other than that all is fine...

After you restarted xinetd, check /var/log/maillog, you will find more clues there. It might be an invalid option in proftpd.conf.

 

[ss_barryk]

its empty.. where was a maillog.1 but only 3 lines relating to sendmail starting

Have you checked the following log files in /var/log/

/var/log/proftpd_access.log
/var/log/proftpd_auth.log
/var/log/proftpd_paranoid.log

 

[ss_barryk]

dont exist in that dir?!

Ok, then check in your /etc/proftpd.conf file to see what level of logging and where the log files are kept. My test server shows the following:

<Global>
DisplayLogin welcome.msg
DisplayFirstChdir readme
#
# having to delete before uploading is a pain
#
AllowOverwrite yes
#
ExtendedLog /var/log/proftpd_access.log WRITE,READ write
#
#
# Record all logins
#
ExtendedLog /var/log/proftpd_auth.log AUTH auth
#
# Paranoia logging level....
#
ExtendedLog /var/log/proftpd_paranoid.log ALL default
