Re: Help on Installing and configuring publicfile

Dear sir,
          I had read that qftpd is a patch for Dan Bernstein's
publicfile package. I think it's not a contrary ,as publicfile is an
anonymous ftp and to make this an non-anonymous ftp qftp patch had to
be applied . Am i right.

While trying to install twoftpd(using make)  i encountered lot of
errors so thought of installing publicfile with the qftpd patch.

Without applying a patch to publicfile , it was fine i could get the
files from /public/file/0 directory and it worked fine as anonymous
ftp.

But after applying the patch ie., qftpd-diff patch ,it asked for user
name and password but the connection was terminated by the remote
server saying 421 service not available.

I haven't got  even a single trace and couldn't proceed further.

Can you help me out in this regard.

Sincerely,
S.Rajkumar
