FTP access problems
Current setup:
I am running Solaris 8 and PROFtpd. I have my network functioning correctly. The server can be pinged from any machine on the network. There is no firewall between the client and the server. The proftpd service is running using the correct and only proftpd.conf file in standalone mode with no virtual host. From the ftp server, I can ftp it, log in, etc.
Problem:
When I try to ftp to the same server from another machine, it connects saying, "Connected to 196.x.x.x..", waits for about a minute, and gives a message "Connection Closed by Remote Host"
I have checked my proftpd log file and it does not show any activity. I was able to connect without problems before. I had to change the net configuration to work on another network. After I did this, I started having problems.
What could I be missing? Thanks for you help.

ftpscrub(8) System Manager's Manual ftpscrub(8)
NAME
ftpscrub - scrub the proftpd scoreboard file of stale entries
SYNOPSIS
ftpscrub
DESCRIPTION
The ftpscrub command provides a way to scrub the scoreboard file on demand, at times which suit the site best. This should be run periodi-
cally on sites which run proftpd in inetd mode.
OPTIONS
-h,--help Display a short usage description, including all available options.
-f,--file scoreboard-file
Specify the full path to proftpd's run-time scoreboard file (configured via the ScoreboardFile directive in proftpd.conf ). If
proftpd's default directory has been changed via this directive, ftpscrub must either be recompiled, or this option must be
used in order to find proftpd's scoreboard.
-v,--verbose
Reports additional information while scrubbing the scoreboard.
FILES
/usr/sbin/ftpscrub
/var/run/proftpd.scoreboard
