ftpd problem

[Altera_Forum]

Hi all, 

 I&#39;m using the Microtronix uClinux 2.6.5-uc0 release and the original ftpd distributed with it.  I can connect & login ok ... but I&#39;m unable to open a data connection. I see the following: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>  --- Quote Start ---  227 Entering Passive Mode (0, 0, 0, 0, 8, 4) ftp: connect: Connection refused[/b]  --- Quote End ---   Turning off passive mode causes the ftp client to hang.  As I&#39;m not that familiar with the uClinux ftpd ... does anyone have any ideas? suggestions?  BTW: I&#39;m using cramfs ... with a ramfs mount for /var/run. telnetd & boa work just fine.  Thanks, --Scott

I am new to uClinux and to Linux generally too, I want ask someone experienced how to use ftpd server to be able to upload files into Altera dev. board. I also have the same experience as smcnutt - I can connect, I can download data, but I cannot upload them to the board. I though there would be problem, that filesystems are write protected, but I also tried to upload files into "/var" directory, which is located in ram with attribute "rw" (this info I got using mount command).. 

thanks

ok, I solved: 

 when u try to connect to ftpd server in dev. board just use as the user name "root" instead of "nios" and password remains the same "uClinux". Then u will get rw ftp access to /var and /tmp dirs... http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif   I know, it is the only temporary solution, but it works even without any intervention to filesystem configuration..
