1) FTP

The knoppix cd has an ftp server installed on it. However if you try to ftp to a knoppix machine you will get a connection refused message. This is due to the settings in the /etc/hosts.deny file. The hosts.deny file is in fact a symlink to /KNOPPIX/etc/hosts.deny The last line of it reads as below

ALL:PARANOID

The stock hosts.allow files will allow ftp from localhost only. You will have to change this too. These two files are prohibiting ftp connections to the knoppix system.

What I 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 and do:
    • rm /etc/hosts.deny
    • rm /etc/hosts.allow
    • /etc/init.d/inetd 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.==== 1) FTP ==== The knoppix cd has an ftp server installed on it.
