Are you sure that both aspects are OK? FTPD is enabled by default. You're right: it is launched by INETD. Could you ping the FreeBSD box? Could you access it via telnet? If YES/YES/YES: type "ftp localhost" on the FreeBSD box and see if FTPD answers a "local" call. --- Stefano Riva Software Engineer - Systems Administrator Informazioni Editoriali I.E.
