Hello everybody, Sorry to bother you with this trivial problem, but as it goes, I am experiencing problem using ncftp on my RedHat Fedora core 1 system. When I checked, it had ncftp preinstalled.

And when i type "ncftp 192.168.10.1" at the command prompt(where 192.168.10.1 is the IP of the host where i wanted to log in), it connects successfully and displays the ftp prompt. Now the problem is :

1) When i type ls it shows /pub and then i cannot create a directory there or cannot upload, download files. A permission denied error is shown.

2)When i try logging into ftp from the shell prompt by typing "ncftp 192.168.10.1 -u root -p XXXX", where root and XXXX are the username and

3) Actually, I need am very new to the concept of ncftp, can u suggest any resources other than ncftp documentation, where i can learn how to configure the ftp service.

My project is on email archival, and the all the work in the project is complete except the ncftp portion. what i need is to build a number of user accounts, with certain usernames and passwords and then i need to write shell scripts to automate the uploading and downloading of files.

I hope u'll be able to help me.

Warm regards, Sushant
