Try connecting via FTP, once from the server to itself, and once from the client to the server:
server%
ftp server
Connected to server.example.com.
220 server.example.com FTP server (Version 6.2/OpenBSD/Linux-0.10) ready.
Name (server:davecb):
331 Password required for davecb.
Password:
230 User davecb logged in.
ftp>
quit
221 Goodbye.
If this worked, skip to the section
Section 9.2.4, Troubleshooting Server Daemons." Otherwise:
-
If you received the message "server: unknown host," then nameservice has failed. Go back to the corresponding
ping step,
Section 9.2.2.2, Testing local name services with ping ," and rerun those tests to see why name lookup failed. -
If you received "ftp: connect: Connection refused," the machine isn't running an FTP daemon. This is mildly unusual on Unix servers. Optionally, you might try this test by connecting to the machine using telnet instead of FTP; the messages are very similar and telnet uses TCP as well. -
If there was a long pause, then "ftp: connect: Connection timed out," the machine isn't reachable. Return to the section
Section 9.2.2.4, Testing connections with ping." -
If you received "530 Logon Incorrect," you connected successfully, but you've just found a different problem. You likely provided an incorrect username or password. Try again, making sure you use your username from the Unix server and type your password correctly.
