how to make ftpd work??

http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif

my board is based on 1c12, i have made a successful zImage according to the steps described in wikinios.jot.com. and i can telnet to my board from pc .

now i want to have a ftp server on my board:

what i have dones is fowllowing:

(1)

when "make menuconfig"

i select "ftpd" in "network application" and select "chroot" in "busybox" and select "adduser , addgroup , passwd" in " tinylogin"

(2)

then :

make clean

make romfs

make

create two empty files in romfs/etc: passwd group

make romfs

make linux image

(3)

then download the zImage to my board.

(4)

add a user in board using "adduser ftptest", but i get "adduser: Cannot determine your user name." messge

but it seems that a new user has been added because then content of the file etc/passwd becomes "ftptest:x:500:500::/home/ftptest:/bin/sh"

and the etc/group is: "ftptest:x:500:"

(5) then try to test ftp serve with the "ftptest" username

ftp 192.168.0.202 (192.168.0.202 is my board ip)

then i got the following message:

Connected to 192.168.0.202.

220 uClinux FTP server (GNU inetutils 1.4.1) ready.zj2

Name (192.168.0.202:none): ftptest

500 &#39;USER ftptest&#39;: command not understood.

Login failed.

ftp>

(6) there are no choices for me instead of "bye"

i have do some more efforts, such as change the ftpd.c , but i have the same result " command not understood"!!

if anyone can tell me what&#39;s the problem?

    ftpd-new from netkit 0.17 added to uClinux-dist, should work with ftp anonymous now.
