In all likelihood, it's your firewall settings on the fedora box.... Even if you installed with "no firewall", Linux/Fedora "saves you from your evil ways" and configures a firewall anyway. If you want a very quick test, turn off your firewall on fedora... (from root) service iptables off Another quick test is to turn passive off.... from your ftp client, before issuing the "ls" command, issue "passive". "passive" toggles the setting and will report back the new setting....

Let's call it foobaz.net. (That's actually my domain, but for the purposes of this discussion, it's good enough.) While I was running Suse, I found that gftp just didn't work with that site for some reason, but xftp did. So I used xftp. But now I'm running Fedora, and xftp doesn't come with the distro, and I don't see it in the apt or yum repositories. When I ftp to the site, the system hangs when I attempt to do a "ls". This *only* happens (and it happens all the time) when I attempt to use Fedora gftp or even go to a shell prompt and run "ftp foobaz.net". What I see is: 331 Anonymous access allowed, send identity (e-mail name) as password. Password: 230-Backup Copies for Licenced Use Only! 230 Anonymous user logged in. Remote system type is Windows_NT. ftp> ls 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,1,101,5,163). And then it hangs. If I let it sit long enough, it also disconnects. When I attempt to connect from a W2K machine, it can get through okay. It also worked with xFTP. So I decided to try installinf xftp on my box. Following the install directions, I first ran xmkmf, which ran without a problem. But then following it with the "make" command produces problems. They are: krikket@galactica:~/llnlxftp2.1/sources$ make gcc -m32 -O2 -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/X11R6/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -c -o abort.o abort.c gcc -m32 -O2 -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/X11R6/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -c -o aconnect.o aconnect.c In file included from aconnect.c:61: str.h:62:14: macro "strchr" requires 2 arguments, but only 1 given In file included from aconnect.c:61: str.h:62: warning: built-in function `strchr' declared as non-function make: *** [aconnect.o] Error 1 krikket@galactica:~/llnlxftp2.1/sources$ Any thoughts on where to go from here? (Unfortunately, it's not really an option to d/l everything to the w2k machine, and then to the fedora box... Just because I can test things on a computer at work doesn't mean it's a good idea to use it for more than a short test...) Thanks in advance!
