Relevant configuration files:
* '''/etc/[[inetd.conf]]''': network configuration. Should include a line specifying wu-ftpd as the handler for ftp connections (e.g. the last line in this sample inetd.conf; "-a" added on recommendation of [http://www.wu-ftpd.org/wu-ftpd-faq.html#QA36 FAQ]):
 '''woozle@rizzo:~$''' sudo cat /etc/inetd.conf
 #<off># netbios-ssn     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/smbd
 swat            stream  tcp     nowait.400      root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/swat
 {{hilite|ftp             stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/wu-ftpd -l -a}}
* '''/etc/ftpusers''': list of system users not allowed to connect via ftp (typically "root" and other admin accounts)
* [[ftpaccess]]: main configuration file. Haven't found where this file lives yet; maybe it has to be created from scratch?
* Absolutely could not get wu-ftpd to work; this is what always happens, regardless of where I'm trying to connect from:
 '''woozle@rizzo:~$''' ftp localhost
 ftp: connect: Connection refused
