Hi,

I think it is because as of ROM 2.38 that port was blocked for security
reasons.

You can install a ftp server if you need that functionality

Hi,


How can I find out the version of ROM? And, where can I download a ftp
server for Zaurus? Will it interfere with the built-in ftp of factory
version Zaurus?

don't even bother. Your ROM should come with openssh installed (I know
OZ does, can't remember about the Sharp ROM.) If it doesn't, download it
from here: http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/showapps.php?cat=8
Use sftp, which is part of the openssh package. Much more secure.
If for some reason you must use the insecure ftp, you can get a server
from the above link as well.
