Hello,
I'm sorry to be late to reply. Here is the result of my weekend config
project.
- I checked out /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny file (from Jim
Cole wrote, thank you) I haven't done nothing for the file... and
the both file have no commented out line.
- Still I have to use "passive" command, and I don't know where the
setting file is.
- Still I cannot FTP to YDL sever.
