can't get in.ftpd working through inet on Solaris 8

I just need to turn on ftp for a short time to download the netbackup datacenter client to one system and then transfer it to the others. I tried the following

making sure that ftp was in the /etc/services file uncommented

uncommented ftp from the /etc/inet/inetd.conf file and added the -a -d -L flags for using /etc ftpusers, and debug mode.

kill -HUP (pid of inetd)

I am trying to do the transfer as my personal username (not as root). I am not in the /etc/ftpusers file. I just get an refused connection (access denied).

Is there some other configuration that I am missing?

Thanks,

Susan

I am sure that it is the server configuration. When I try ftp 0 on the server I get service not available, remote server has closed connection. My client that I was testing from at first is on a local subnet and when I snoop on 21 and 22 my client connection is coming through so it is not a network issue or a firewall or packet filter stopping the client from connecting to the server.

When I run netstat on the server ftp shows up: netstat -a | grep ftp*.ftp*.*00 491520 LISTEN*.ftp*.*00 491520 LISTEN

I ended up installing proftpd and using that to do my ftp. It worked when I loaded it but it still didn't work from inetd. I'd still like to know why my stuff isn't working from inetd.
