FTP Problem

[toti]

I'm having a little problem with ftp. When I type ftp in console, I get this:

ftp: ftp/tcp: unknown service

Ftp was working fine just a few days ago. I tried re-emergeing, it won't work.
I'm using Gentoo with Kernel 2.6.1.

I am not sure but it looks like ftp is not enabled in /etc/services
Take a look at the file and try to find the following 2 lines:
ftp-data 20/tcp
ftp 21/tcp

If they are present then everything is ok with the services file
If not then write this 2 lines into the file.

hope that helps

It worked, thank you.
