I'm reposting the original message hoping to get a response this time.

All I want to do is ftp between a RH9 machine (the server) and a
Fedora 2 machine (the client).

I'm pretty sure it is a firewall problem with the client machine and
the way ftp uses random port numbers.

------Original post-------
I've been trying to ftp between a fedora box and a RH9 box. The RH9
box is running the default ftpd and I'm using the default console ftp
client on the fedora box.

I can login fine but when I try to "ls" I get:

227 Entering Passive Mode (*.*.*.*.208.243)
ftp: connect: Connection refused

the asterisks are the IP address of the server.

On both machines I have the ftp box checked in the graphical security
settings app.

When I boot the client machine into OS/2 and use the default text mode
client that it has I have no problem, so it's obviously a client
problem.

I've posted this problem twice before and not gotten a working
solution. Please help.

Now it is the third time. If no one on this group knows how to fix
the problem please tell me of a group that is read by people who do.
