Trying to download via ftp in ubuntu server edition

Post by Luke »

I'm trying to install an application from an ftp site on ubuntu 6.06 server edition, and I enter the following command:

Code: Select all

ftp ftp.miva.com
So then it asks me for a username, and I enter empresa. That is accepted, but then it prompts for a password, but never lets me enter it. It enters itself or something and then says "530 Login Incorrect". Why won't it let me enter the damn password?

Have to admit one of the first things I do with Ubuntu is set the root password to something I know so I can "su" to root and use it rather than using sudu all the time.
