ftp failure - IPv4 listening
Hi all,
Trying to ftp a Suse linux machine , I got the following error Connecting to: 199.42.54.111 port: 21. 500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket inside /etc/vsftpd.conf, i checked the following: listen=YES listen_port=21 #listen_ipv6=YES I tried to start the daemon vsftpd , I got the error clerity-demo:~ # /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd restart service: no such service ftp /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd: line 8: socket_type: command not found /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd: line 9: wait: `=': not a pid or valid job spec /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd: line 9: wait: `no': not a pid or valid job spec /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd: line 10: user: command not found /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd: line 11: server: command not found nice: =: No such file or directory disable: Operation failed: client-error-not-found I don't understand the reason of this command failure Here is the content of /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd, I modified it at all: clerity-demo:~ # cat /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd # default: on # description:s # The vsftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses # normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication. # vsftpd is designed to be secure. service ftp { socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/local/sbin/vsftpd # server_args = # log_on_success += DURATION USERID # log_on_failure += USERID nice = 10 disable = no } Please advise .. Yours, Eman |
If you are trying to initiate vsftpd trough xinetd you have to change listen=YES to listen=NO on vsftpd.conf.
Also if you are trying to use vsftpd trough xinetd then "/etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd restart" does not make sense. Restart the xinetd service instead. Also add this line to /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd Code:
service ftp PS: in the last scenario also restart the xinetd service. |
Thanks a lot for your Reply
both ftp and sftp are working well now But it workrd with and without adding the line server_args = /etc/vsftpd.conf #The location of vsftpd.conf was is added just to ensure reading the vsftpd.conf file Your reply was vey useful to me anyway Thanks again Eman |
Code:
was is added just to ensure reading the vsftpd.conf file I'm glad It worked. |
