Top Forums Programming QFTP connection refused problem in WEC7 Post 302988093 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 20th of December 2016 09:29:33 AM

There are a few possibilities that spring to mind:-
  • Is the target server offering FTP?
    If you can get to a command prompt and run netstat -na and look for an entry LISTENING on port 21. You may need to enable this in the services menu, or even install it if there isn't an FTP server present.
  • Is there a firewall block?
    Try something like pingport or nmap or (dare I say even) telnet pointing to port 21.

These are my usual first targets. Do they help?



Kind regards,
Robin

NAME
ftpusers - list of users that may not log in via the FTP daemon DESCRIPTION
The text file ftpusers contains a list of users that may not log in using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon. This file is used not merely for system administration purposes but for improving security within a TCP/IP networked environment. It will typically contain a list of the users that either have no business using ftp or have too many privileges to be allowed to log in through the FTP server daemon. Such users usually include root, daemon, bin, uucp, and news. If your FTP server daemon doesn't use ftpusers then it is suggested that you read its documentation to find out how to block access for certain users. Washington University FTP server Daemon (wuftpd) and Professional FTP Daemon (proftpd) are known to make use of ftpusers. Format The format of ftpusers is very simple. There is one account name (or username) per line. Lines starting with a # are ignored. FILES
/etc/ftpusers SEE ALSO
passwd(5), proftpd(8), wuftpd(8) COLOPHON
