kmc77 Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 proftpd is telling me that another server is using port 21, when I try to bring it online. I recently switched from vsftpd to proftpd to fix some upload issues. Now, I can get neither uploads or downloads. I can log in from another computer, and username and password are accepted, but it just sticks me in limbo. No directory. These two problems may not be related, but I thought I'd start by figuring what was going on with port 21. If anyone can give me a hint on how to check a specific port, and find out what is running on that port, I'd be gratefull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I'm generally ignorant of these matters, but this may be of some use: Verying Which Ports are Listening. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks spinynorman. I'll check this when I get back to my Linux box. Hopefully that will help me diagnose what is going wrong with my "limbo" log in.

Gowator Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 also check you don't have a ftp server (perhaps misconfigured) automatically installed... do a ps -ef | grep ftp just to be certain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
