ftp on Red Hat 3.0

ashley75 · 06-16-2005, 11:50 AM

does Red Hat 3.0 named their FTP package as vsftpd instead of wu-ftpd????

I can't find wu-ftpd package anywhere from the CDs. anyway, how can I install or turn on FTP (if installed) on 3.0?????

thanks

They've started using vsftpd instead since its more secure, better track record and updated more often..

how do you turn on the service?????

using:

$chkconfig vsftpd on

I can't connect.

Any advises???

Before starting any service, always check it's config. vsftpd can run in standalone mode or by using inetd/xinetd, check your config to make sure its configured how you'd like, then try to start it up.

And to start it would be:

/sbin/service vsftpd start

The command you ran would tell it to start at bootup.
