    There are more possibilities: The obvious one is /etc/ftpusers (you're
    not trying to ftp as root. now are you) ;-)
    the other files to check have to do with tcp_wrapper: /etc/hosts.deny
    and /etc/hosts.allow. I guess you would know if ports are blocked by a
    firewall.
    Copying files across can also be done, securely, with scp or sft, which
    both come as part of openssh.

    cheers, Marcel
