I want to use Windows XP default telnet client to connect to my desktop computer running Ubuntu...I've tried entering the IP of my desktop but connection fails...
I assume this is because my Ubuntu doesn't have a telnet server...
I dont want to install any SSH software clients on my XP laptop thuis the reason I want to know if my Ubuntu has a telnet server installed???
What command do I use to determine if I have one running or not?
telnet

cool thanks a million
off topic: I have an FTP server installed and by default Ubuntu uses user: nobody pass: lampp
I assume that FTPd runs as root, as I need to sudo inorder to start the mysql, apache, ftp daemons...
I login using my windows laptop...and ftp client...but I cannot make any changes it says 500: permission deinied
I assume because I installed the scripts locally as user: Hockey and FTP is running as root?
I can browse the the directories and read all files, but cannot save...and I can't CHMOD the directories???
Any ideas?

I use proftpd and it's the only one I know anything about the configuration of. I imagine your config is denying certain types of command though.Hockey wrote:cool thanks a million

The reason you need to start daemons as root is because they are usually very important services you would want any old tom, dick or harry sharing the server with you to tinker with. NO they DON'T run as root though. At least not if things are set up securely. Root starts the process, then it forks new processes with suexec under a username like ftp, www, mail etc.
For example, here's my list of apache processes:
Code: Select all
root 6013 0.0 0.1 20824 644 ? SNs Nov05 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL
www-data 6037 0.0 1.0 22472 5648 ? SN Nov05 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL
