Point me in the direction of a good active ftp "how to" guide for linux rhel5
Hi group!! I am new to Linux, and more in depth unix in general. I am starting to switch over from Microsoft, so hopefully you guys can welcome me with open arms :).
That being said, I am trying to setup Active FTP (our network administrator has forced it down our throat, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just have to make some changes...) which brought me here. I don't want someone to flat out tell me how to do this, but I am having a hard time finding a step by step process to follow in order to enable Active FTP. |
Hi, welcome to LQ!
And where does one find "Active FTP"? I've never heard of it before =) Cheers, Tink |
Active FTP Mode and Passive FTP Mode? Doesn't linux default to passive mode? I'm sorry if I mis spoke :).

Oh ok ... given your spelling (active in caps) I assumed it's a product
you're inquiring about ... Which server are you using in RHEL? |
Enterprise v5
|
Which ftp server (vsftp, proftpd, ... )
|
to start the server it is something like
Code:
sudo /sbin/service ftpd start Code:
ftp server.com _________________________ have you considered using scp instead; assuming you already have an ssh server running you would do: Code:
scp file user@server.com # or man ftp man scp for more info |
