I have configured ftpd for the QNX operating system, everything seems to 
work fine but, after logging in the ftpd accepts the login entry, displays
user "name" logged in and immediately spits out the error:
by the way I am logging in as "ftp localhost"
 
421 service not available remote server has closed connection.

These six commands are criticlal to getting your server working:

rm /etc/shutmsg
man ftpaccess
man ftpd
man ftphosts

Thanks for the info.

I've tried almost everything, all the files seem to be in place, I deleted
the shutmsg in the /etc directory.
I also had trouble with the reply functions for some reason I changed the 
parameters to var. args eg: reply(int n, char *, ...). that seemed to solve
some msg problems, but still can't put my finger on the other problems.
This is my first experience with ftpd so some fixing may not of needed 
fixing.

any more info would be much appreciated.
