How do I FTP to my C860?

[toadatrix]

I am running the new Cacko ROM (1.20 released March 5) on my C860.  I used the passwd command from the Konsole to assign a password to root.  Somewhere I read that I could then ftp to the zaurus on port 4242 using root as the username and the password I assigned.  I can\'t get it to work using FlashFXP or any other ftp client program I have tried.  Here are some question:

1)  I first setup a wireless connection to my AP on the zaurus.  Zaurus says the IP assigned by DHCP is 192.168.1.108.
2)  I entered the 192.168.1.108 as the ftp address, port 4242 as the listening port, root as the user, and my password in to FlashFXP, but it says connection refused.  I also tried FTPCommander and Internet Explorer, but they won\'t connect either.
3)  Should I be ftping using passive mode or not?

What do I need to do the connect to my C860 using ftp?  Thanks.

The new cacko rom disables ftp access. I not using it myself so can be sure but I expect that it just needs the line in /etc/initd.conf   \" ftp stream tcp nowait root\" un-comenting.

Second thing all linux distributions (AFAIK) don allow root access to ftp.

I would try both modes (depends on how the server is configured), but I didn\'t know that Cacko ROM 1.20 had an ftp server  enabled by default.  You might need to install an ftp server.

Try an sftp client instead (search for putty or try ftp://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh) .  I\'m pretty sure the rom comes with ssh enabled and its better to use sftp instead of ftp anyway.

N.b.  The two are not interoperable.

On a C700 with cacko rom, install OpenSSH-server on the zaurus. From Windows I just use WinSCP (http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/),  SCP protocol, port 22. May work on C860 as well.
