Who can tell me something about vsftpd?

I want to transport files with another computer with Windows installed. I think ftp is a good way. And I know the vsftpd configuration file is /etc/vsftpd.conf. But how can I start the vsftpd? And who can tell me something more that I must know? Thanks!

let's say vsftpd is installed in /usr/bin/vsftpd, then what you need to do is:

Code:

/usr/bin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd.conf &

Otherise you many want a script that take 'start' and 'stop' as argument in /etc/init.d

if vsftpd is installed at your server
issue the following command

1.chkconfig vsftpd on
2.service xinetd start
3.serivce iptables stop

try to connect to server.It must work
