Hi there
As you can see abouve I am a newbie to many areas of LINUX.
I already installed several LINUX machines with samba and shorewall with a
little help of webmin....
However I do face problems with the following.
-----------
We do have a Server at the place of our provider.
I can log in as root with putty
Apperently on the server is redhat-release "Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)"
installed.
netstat -a ---- shows that ftp is runnig

but if I try to connect via ftp to the server I am not able to conntact!!

Is there a restricton for the root??

Please advise how to build up aftp connection to the server in order to
transfer files like webmin and to install..

Benjamin
