FTP connection refused.

How'ya folks...

I'm having a problem getting an FTP connection between my two networked laptops. The firewall and SELinux has been disabled on both machines. The error I get is as follows:

[root@localhost etc]# ftp -v 192.xxx.x.xx
ftp: connect: Connection refused
ftp>

Has anyone any ideas on this?

Thanks

Are you using vsftp ? Do you have iptables running ?

service vsftpd status
service iptables status

Enable / disable PASV mode transfers on both machines? ACL setup correctly? Does ftp work from localhost / command line / telnet 21?
