Does the server you are trying to do a ftp connection have a ftp server running on it? What message do you get, or does it just sit there and times out?
Look in the /etc/inetd.conf, you should have a similar entry:
ftp stream tcp nowait root usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd -a -o -l
If so, the posting by geist will possibly be the reason. You could go and remove the "root" entry which should solve your problem, but it will be more of a security risk. IBM Certified Specialist - MQSeries
