    What No-IP address?

    If your trying to connect from outside your LAN, then you will need to connect to your Router's external IP address, if your connecting from the same PC (do this to check it works!!), use 127.0.0.1, and if your connecting from another machine on your LAN, use the Internal IP address of the ftp server, 192.168.** or whatever.

    SSH to your FTP server box, do "netstat -an | grep tcp | grep :21", you should have 1 line returned, if not, your FTP server is proberly not started.

    ok... i ran the netstat.. got the line that says it's listening... the No-IP address is mytallest.zapto.org

    i have the program noip2 started at the default runlevel, which updates noip.com every 1/2 hour with my external IP address... i've told the router to forward ports 21-29 to 192.168.0.3 (my linux box)... just tried ftp'ing to 127.0.0.1 and it refused the connection... did try to ftp from the XP box in the other room.. connection refused... i'm *not* running inetd, xinetd, or iptables at all... the only firewall i have is the router itself...

    alright... i can access the server through 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.3 while sitting at the puter that it's on... when i try to ftp to mytallest.zapto.org or my actual IP address, it refuses connection... i'm thinking this is a problem with the port forwarding on my router... argh...

    It may do that if you are BEHIND the router/firewall when you try it... depending on your router of course

    I was able to get a connection from my office PC:
    Code:
    jason@simpson:~$ ftp mytallest.zapto.org
Connected to mytallest.zapto.org.
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd ----------
220-You are user number 1 of 16 allowed.
220-Local time is now 08:22. Server port: 21.
220-This is a private system - No anonymous login
220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Name (mytallest.zapto.org:jason):
    ... so it looks like its ok

    PureFTPD is a pretty good FTPD IMO, you can also enable privilage seperation (a ./configure option IIRC), which means part of the FTP server runs as a non-privilaged user, leaving minimal code running as root.

    What exactly is Invader Zim? I've heard of it before, just don't know what it is about.
