Does your particular ftpd needs a ftpuser file? Check the documentation that
comes with it.

It may be sending the root password from one box to the other.

Have you tried logging in on both boxes as the same user name with the same
password?

It might need a ftpusers file with nothing in it? Or better still, use the
standard one that excludes the common system uids (<100).

Is the ftp user's uid less than 100. On many systems, ftp user is uid 14 and
used by the ftp server to gain access to files.

Make sure that your ftp user's entry in the /etc/passwd file does not have a
* in the second field. This will stop user access. eg. ftp:*:14:50:Ftp
User:/home/ftp:

Other than that, it could be a mystery :-)

FTP is setup to not allow root ftp access by default , so this wasn't a
good example.

Put the following in your /etc/syslog.conf as root to see some debugging
info for ftp accesses. (use TAB's not spaces)

*.*                                                     /dev/tty8

Then reboot or restart the logging daemons and when you try out ftp'ing
hit CTRL+ALT+F8 to see logging messages from your ftp daemon. This way
you can get a much more detailed idea of what's going wrong.

Are you using root to login.  Make up some generic login with 1:6
and ftp into that login.

Try using the logon name anonymous instead of ftp.

I know in most distributions they are supposed to alias to the same thing
as far as the FTP server is concerned, but I've seen ftp servers which
refuse user ftp and allow user anonymous.

So try anonymous and see how that goes.

DaZZa

I'm not sure if the ftpd on Redhat does this, but Solaris 2.5 would refuse ftp
access if the file /etc/shells exists and the user's login shell is not listed
in it (sorry, I'm a programmer ;-) Perhaps that's the problem...

Did you try to remove the user root in your /etc/ftpaccess
and loggin diretly with root user.

This file is for disabled loggin true ftp for each user.
You could try with another user !

Good Luck
