Re: 421 service not avaiable

Hi Dervish,

I tried proftpd, which comes as a cygwin port and it works. And I also
turned off my firewall but pureftpd still doesn't work. For passive
mode, I didn't see any option to disable it in pureftpd, so I guess it
shouldn't be the problem.

Is it possible that pureftpd simply doesn't work on cygwin? If so, is
there any way to make it work?

Thanks!

Yao
