Hello,
I am a new user of FreeBSD/UNIX and have recently installed
FreeBSD-5.3-RELEASE on my home computer. I am running IPFilter
as my firewall using the ruleset found in the Handbook. I have found
that FTP no longer functions since I began the filter. I have done lots
of searching on the web and I think this is a common problem and I
will be able to find a solution on my own. But here is my question.
The solutions to this problem variously refer to ftp clients or ftp
servers. I know that a client and a server aren't necessarily the
same. If I look in my bin files, I find something named ftpd, which I
assume is the ftp daemon. I know that I didn't specifically download
or install any ftp software. Whatever I have came with the base
installation. So here is my question, how do I know, or how do I
determine, if what I have is an ftp server or an ftp client?
Thanks
Mark
