[svlug] Allowing ftp access

[Skip Evans]

Hey all,

I have one workstation on our network I want to 
allow other machines rcp files from.

I thought from looking at the man page for 
hosts.allow that an entry like the following would 
do it:

in hosts.allow I put

ALL: ALL

But that didn't work.

As an experiment, I tried a setting I thought 
would allow at least one machine to rcp files from 
the workstation. I tried:

ALL: 192.168.0.100

But the rcp command for both of these would time 
out and say "192.168.0.7: Connection refused".

What is the proper way to allow other machines to 
rcp from another?

The full test command I tried was:

rcp 192.168.0.7:/home/sevans/footer.tpl .
