I just install a Redhat Linux 7 and want to start the FTP service. wu-ftpd is running. IP address is set. I can ftp using same machine by IP 127.0.0.1. But, I can't ftp to the computer via WINXP. FYI, I use CROSS cable to connect them. I try ftp, I'm not prompted to type username and password. Anybody got idea?What IP address do you have assigned to your Windows machine? At what IP address assigned to your XP machine?It could be that the ftp port is not open in the firewall in Redhat. Switch to root in the terminal and type "setup" then arrow down to "firewall" and open the ftp port. I suppose it could be other things but if you haven't tried it already, that's what I would do first.I've set the Linux IP 10.0.0.20 and my WinXp machine has IP 10.0.0.7.From the WinXP machine, can you ping the Linux box?Yes, I can ping and even TELNET to the Linux machine using my WinXp PC. I just cannot ftp to it. When I type ftp, I am not prompted to type username and password. I'm using Linux Redhat 7.0From the Windows XP machine, try:telnet 10.0.0.20 21What HAPPENS?
