Setting up a ftp....
Brand new to linux, just installed 7.3 pro, and I have a couple question....first: I am wanting to set up a ftp on this machine, and I thought that is came packaged with pro? During install I told it to install ftp....but can't seem to find it now.
The other thing is I need to set up this machine to do IDS and I downloaded a program to do it but I am having problems installing a .tar.gz so if someone could maybe point me in the right direction I would appreciate it....remember I am a brand new :newbie: |
Which FTP software did you install ?
If you don't remember, open a console window and type: Code:
rpm -qa | grep ftpd Code:
tar -zxvf <filename> Code:
tar -zxvf <filename> -C /other/location This is usually where non-RPM software is placed. |
when I do a rpm -ga | grep ftpd I get "rpm: one type of query/verify may be performed at a time
when I do the tar -zxvf cIDS-.0.0.5.tar.gz I get: cIDS/ cIDS/cids.c cIDS/install cIDS/log.c cIDS/log.h cIDS/install.c cIDS/cids.conf cIDS/cidsd.c tar: Skipping to next header gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--lengh error tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors This is what I have been getting, I am not sure what ftp I installed it just asked what all I wanted install and one of the options I checked was ftp server. One other thing....and I hate being a newbie, specially that I am microsoft certified and I can't seem to figure linux out, it drives me crazy! But I am having problem just installing a dang rpm, is there a program that install these for ya? or where can I get a list of commands that will help walk me througth it? Thanks in advance for the help! |
