The relevant file is /etc/hosts.allow. Check out
$ man hosts_access
for more info. This facilities provided by this stuff (called tcp_wrappers)
are very flexible. In your case, the quick answer is to add the following
to /etc/hosts.allow:
in.ftpd: ALL at domain 192.168.x.y
where 192.168.x.x. is the address of the other machine. Alternatively,
you can just specify a portion of the IP address, thus allowing access
from any machine on your network:
in.ftpd: ALL at domain 192.168.x.
Don't forget the trailing '.'.
Later,
Kenn
