download putty

install it and search this site for information about enabling it, which is never advised, as telent is bad. mmmmmmmmmkay.

i did install it already, i just can't get it to start. neither can i use ftp. i just want to practice on how to do it.

thanks

many posts on this site will tell you to edit /etc/xinetd.d/telnet and change "disable = yes" to the obvious.

Use:
ntsysv

or:
chkconfig telnet on
chkconfig vsftpd on

If you want it on in more than one runlevel:
chkconfig -level 345 telnet on
chkconfig -level 345 vsftpd on
