you have to install wu-ftp as standalone to stop and start it with /etc/init.d/wu-ftpd stop|start. otherwise it is started on connection by inetd (check /etc/inetd.conf). i think this is becaouse ie cannot connect in passive mode. btw if you have cable you may be connected to the internet permanently and therefore i recommand another ftp server (eg proftpd) due to security bugs in wu-ftp. yours martin -- /"\ ASCII RIBBON | e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | .''`. | \ / CAMPAIGN AGAINST | work: http://www.factline.com | : :' : | X HTML MAIL | gpg-key: 30DC 1D28 1D79 32F5 5E67 | `. `' | / \ AND POSTINGS | 3ABB 28EE B35A 3E8D CCC0 | `- |
