Do you have ftp user created in your Windows database or you mapped the ftp user in /etc/passwd to the Windows Guest user ? I've determined that creating a user without a password to be used by ftpd doesnt work on WinXP (maybe others too but I dont have access to test). Or much better would be to say - a user without a pass cannot log in into ftpd on WinXP Home. I can reproduce this behaviours each time...

I learned many things :) i.e. the little secret about /etc/passwd and /etc/group for exmaple :) (Yes, this is not in the FAQ!) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
