I have two questions. 1- The vfstpd is running on the Centos server. The server is in the same home network. The SeLinux and firewall are disabled. I can use Filzilla from a Windows PC from another computer and connect and see directory listing. There is a user names adminftp and he is a memeber of root group. When I try to upload or download I get an ftp critical error message. Does anyone know how to fix this? 2- How can I install Adobe Acrobat Reader, Flash Player and Adobe Shockwave on this Linux box? Thank you all.

You go to Adobe's website, and read the instructions.
I tried installing flash player. Following either Abode's instructions or the instructions from Mozilla (I was installing on Firefox) resulted in trying to run a file not in the download archive. I guess there was some mis-communication somewhere.
Has some info on installing some Windowy type stuff you are used to having access to.
Ubuntu only, but you may get some extra pointers.
Your first (or was it second?) question: Are you absolutely positive you have disabled SELinux? How did you do it? Sure looks like an SELinux thing to me.
Or it could be even simpler: just becuase there is an adminftp user doesn't mean that the ftp server is using it...
as root, try
ps aux | grep ftp
and see which user each of the FTP processes are actually using - could be a simple permissions problem
P.S. We're allowed to ask lots of questions in one thread because we're volunteers ;-)

Reason: finger trouble
I put previous question to SOLVED MODE b/c I did not find a good answer to that so I thought to open another thread hoping to get a solid answer. Here is the out put of [root@localhost ~]# ps aux | grep ftp
root 3661 0.0 0.0 4004 684 pts/1 S+ 15:40 0:00 grep ftp
[root@localhost ~]#

Is it helpful? What can I do to make the adminftp user to be able to upoload and download?
It looks like the ftp server wasn't running when you ran that command. Make sure you start the ftp server first, and then run the command and post the output.
...and once you have got the ftp server started, just go with
ps aux
forget the pipe and the grep just in case that daemon uses an unusual naming convention. That'll list every process running on the box.
By the way, really not the best tactics to 'solve' a thread which didn't solve your problem - might waste the time of others searching for similar symptoms...
my suggestion go to konsole
1) execute this command
# setenforce 0
2) start vsftpd
# /sbin/service vsftpd start
3) check its runing or not
# netstat -tanp | grep 21
note: that setenforce is zero not big O
see next what issue
normally selinux wont come with the immediate effect, after you disable it. It may require a reboot.
What is the output of "service vsftpd status" command?

yup that is true, but lucky command is setenforce 0
will make selinux off immediate effect ( not permanent ) use for testing
Thank you all. I can login with FTP and see directory listings. I can download files without any problem. But I cannot upload any file or folder. Does anyone know why I am not able to upload files? This is the message I get: 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,0,198,45,173) and 553 Could not create file. Thank you all.
