Can't get it working on port 21...
Authored by: evands on Sep 10, '02 12:55:12AM
Any suggestions? I've given up on the ftpd that came with OS X - every time I try to login with anonymous (after setting up anonymous ftp as i did in 10.1.x), I get 550 Can't set guest permisions. The log file seems to indicate it's having a problem chroot'ing to /Users/ftp, which makes little sense.

Anyhow, after installing proftpd everything is working great.. so long as I run FTP on a port besides port 21. On 21, the proftpd daemon won't even load. I don't have ftpd running, so it shouldn't be taking up the port...
