No, the ftp> prompt is for the FTP *client*. It needs a server to |
| 15 |
connect to - the system doesn't know how to answer FTP requests just |
| 16 |
like that. ftpd, the FTP server, needs to be running on one of the |
| 17 |
machines, while you connect to it from the other one with ftp. If ftpd |
| 18 |
isn't running on the target machine, then of course your connections |
| 19 |
will be refused - there's nothing running that knows how to accept them. |

I'm not familiar with Gentoo's ftpd setup, but try "/etc/init.d/ftpd |
| 22 |
start" on the server. |
