hi, pretty new to linux, so please be soft on me lol


i've got a remote server running linux (CentOS) that i would like to install glftpd onto. now when i first tried to install the program it said i needed xinedt or inedt. so i installed xinedt (well i hope so) got it started via /etc/init.d/xinetd start command. restarted glftpd install, went pass spot where it stopped b4, got to last bit where it resolves ip's, and 127.0.0.1 failed. i then tried to login to ftp via
o 127.0.0.1 portnumber
but said connection refused.

now being a noob i dunno if i have xinetd.conf right, or whateva else could be wrong.

if anyone could please be of assistance i would greatly appreciate it

i just made an adjustment to xinetd.conf file and now connect to 127.0.0.1 and logged in all okay, but when i try to connect to the ftp via flashfxp with the ip address and port etc... wont connect just says connection failed

please, any help?

yum install zip unzip openssl xinetd
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

wget http://glftpd.dk/files/glftpd-LNX_2.01.tgz
tar -zxvf glftpd-LNX_2.01.tgz

mv glftpd-LNX_2.01 glftpd
cd glftpd
