It sounds as if the server is trying to force some sort of (possibly
cryptographic) authentication. Perhaps it is only authorised non-secure
ftp to particular machines.

I suggest you turn on debugging and see what commands it is sending.

Is it perhaps using IPv6? I think that rings a bell with some FTP
errors.

Hi all,

I have installed Fedora on my PC.

I can telnet from my laptop to my linux machine.
I have edited the ftp files in /etc/xinetd.d (set disable = no)

I can't FTP to my linux machine with FTP or secure FTP.
When I want to FTP from my laptop to my linux machine, I get the following error:

Unable to connect to FTP server.
530 Must perform authentication before identifying USER
(530)


What can I do to solve this?


with kind regards,

Herman Pool

supply a user name and a password.
Simply type "user <username>" in your ftp-client.
