ftp and telnet services are enabled by editing /etc/inetd.conf and removing the # in front of each service. Once /etc/inetd.conf is edited you must restart inetd by giving the command "killall -HUP inetd". Once this is done you should be able to telnet and ftp to the freebsd box. However, I highly recommend you learn to use ssh, scp, and sftp, which are secure alternatives to telnet and ftp. - Scott Thus sayeth the previous author: >Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2002 19:39:16 -0800 >From: Bert Hiddink <hiddink@galileo.or.cr> >To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG >Subject: Telnet and FTP not working, ping OK > >Hello, > >I have installed FreeBSD 4.4 release on a Dell Optiplex GXi Pentium MMX 200.
