Cannot Connect to FTP sever

[Guest tcreek]

I was using MDK 8, then upgraded the packages to 8.2 when this problem started. a port scan shows port 21 up.

 

By default PROFTPD was installed. I unisntalled it and tried WU-FTPD with the same result.

 

The error message I receive for both of these is:

 

KERBEROS_V4 rejected an an authentication type

 

Maybe I need to switch to another FTP server?? :(

 

 

Anybody know what that error is or how i cna fix this?

 

Thanks,

 

Trent

If you have installed the right PROFTP

Server and Client. You shouldn't have any problems

 

However, you should post your proftpd.conf file,

there is some adding to do to make your server work.

 

you can try to start your server by

service proftpd start

The proftp dameon is already started. I still get the same errors

 

 

 

Here is the proftpd.conf file:

 

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to

# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use.  It establishes a single server

# and a single anonymous login.  It assumes that you have a user/group

# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

I changed the proftpd.conf file to this...
