Yum client configuration error

Dear concern,

I want to configure a yum client node. Yum configuration file (/etc/yum.repos.d/) is given below:

[root@ntest1 yum.repos.d]# cat server.repo
[server]
name=rhel6
baseurl=ftp://192.168.225.3/pub/Packages/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

We got following error message while executing yum list command.

[root@ntest1 yum.repos.d]# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Cleaning up Everything
[root@ntest1 yum.repos.d]# yum list
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.

But we can manually ftp the yum server.

[root@ntest1 yum.repos.d]# ftp 192.168.225.3

Please advise how to resolve the issue.

Is it possible that the client node runs RHEL5 and the repository is hosted on a RHEL6 server? If yes, you should check out these two URLs:

Hope this helps.
