==== 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 ====
