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?

the -n option fixed this

Code: Select all

sudo ftp -n ftp.miva.com

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.
