I believe redhat 8.0 is using wu-ftp as the ftp daemon so to enable it....go to /etc/xinetd.d and there is a file called wu-ftpd. Edit the file using an editor (i like using pico) and change "disable=yes" to "disable=no". I don't believe u need to restart the xine service but just do it anywayz by:

"service xinetd restart"

Of course you have to be root to do this.

Now, to see if your ftp server is on do this:

"netstat -a | grep LISTEN"

This will tell you what services are listening for connection and if you see ftp in there...then your ftp server is up. You should see a line like this:

tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN

Hope that helps...
