The knoppix ISO has an ftp server installed and running on it. However if you try to ftp to a knoppix machine you will get a connection refused message. There are two files that control ftp connections to the knoppix system. The settings in the /etc/hosts.deny file prevent access. The hosts.deny file is in fact a symlink to /KNOPPIX/etc/hosts.deny The last line of the hosts.deny reads
ALL:PARANOID
The stock hosts.allow file, on the otherhand, has been configured to allow ftp access from the localhost that the knoppix ISO was booted on. You will have to change both the hosts.allow file along with the hosts.deny file in order to gain access via ftp.
What you do is delete the symlink and restart inetd.conf
Here are the necessary steps:
- Configure networking from the menu
- Open a console and set a password for user knoppix:
passwd knoppix
- Open a root shell enter this sequence of commands:
rm /etc/hosts.deny rm /etc/hosts.allow /etc/init.d/inetd restart
In Knoppix 5.1.1 the command is /usr/sbin/inetd restart, not /etc/init.d restart
Now the ftp server is ready and from any client you can ftp to knoppix system, use 'knoppix' as user name and the password you set as password.
