OK. I've tried for days.. Help!
When running Suse 8.0 on my server instead of the older 7.1 I can
no longer telnet or ftp to the machine from any other machine.
ssh works fine, but I need to ftp from a windows machine.
I am using putty for shells,  Is there a similar program for scp
operations?

I have already tried the following:
   - Started inetd with default and custom settings
   - Made sure telent and ftp services are started.
   - Shut down all firewall services
   - All local machines are in the hosts file

Prior to doing the above, all attempts were refused. Now, for example,
ftp attempts say "connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" for about 5 seconds and
then I get "connection closed by remote host"

If I do a netstat -an, there is a port 21,22, and23 listening, but no port 20
