Here is how you do it: 1) Modify the /etc/proftpd.conf file to have the following:
ServerType inetd Then modify your ftp line in your /etc/inetd.conf file: ftp stream ftp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.proftpd in.proftpd Then restart your inetd daemon. If you did not startup the process you will need to do this: Startup the inetd service cygrunsrv -I inetd -d "CYGWIN inetd" -p /usr/sbin/inetd -a -d -e CYGWIN=ntsec cygrunsrv -S inetd If it still does not run check the /var/log/messages to see what errors you have trying to connect to the ftp server. Most likely the /etc/proftpd.conf file needs to be modified.
