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]] [http://www.trypop.com dvd][[ISO]] was [[booting| 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.
