I'm trying to set up a ftp server with either Rumpus or CrushFTP and it states that port 21 [jaguar] is in use and can't be used?
i don't have anything running that i know of that would use this port?
anyone else with this problem? and a remedy?
thanks!

or
netstat -an
see whats already running....
prolly ipfw may be blocking 21
ftp 21/tcp #File Transfer [Control]
ftp 21/udp #File Transfer [Control]
?????
even with ftp sharing off [or even with the firewall off] rumpus/crushFTP still says I'm unable to use that port. Only when I change to any other port, does it work ....... ???
one problem now ......
I'm unable to use Transmit to log into my own FTP [on the same mac]......???
The router is forwarding port 21 to me, and the server is running on port 21......
i don't see where the problem could be?
<strong>okay, now the problem is fixed [i used the readme in crushftp, turn off ftp sharing BEFORE doing it]

You could try to FTP to 'localhost' or 127.0.0.1
I've had problems hosting a page in the past when using AirPort for NAT routing. My browser couldn't see my own machine when I used a DNS name.

If you're on Airport, you need to configure your ABS to allow connections. I'm not sure how to do it, but I know that's what needs to be done. I've been trying (or have tried, unsuccessfully) to get a carracho server running behind my ABS. If you figure it out, lemme know.
but now there's one more problem :::
I'm unable to log in...
my home directory for the ftp account goes to....
my home directory.....
is it maybe because the permissions might not be set right?
i know I'm entering the log/pass right........ ???
It's definitely a good thing, though it's a hassle when it's your own computer. Have you tried just using AFP to mount the drive if you want to access the root level of your drive?
In the finder, cmd+k and type afp://localhost/ (or your ip if you're connecting remotely). Log in and tell it to mount the HD and not your home directory.
It won't let the FTP user log in saying password is incorrect, even though I know it is. It IS attempting to log in though, so I guess that's a good sign?
Hopefully it's not a permission conflict???
I'm having a similar login problem when I attempt to FTP from work. My thought was that Apple had updated their FTP software to require a secure client to login with, but I honestly don't know. I haven't had a chance to try using a secure client to test out my theory.
