Installing VSFTPD


When I type "make install" in my vsftpd 3.x directory, it tells me:
Code:
if [ -x /usr/local/sbin ]; then \
      install -m 755 vsftpd /usr/local/sbin/vsftpd; \
   else \
      install -m 755 vsftpd /usr/sbin/vsftpd; fi
install: cannot stat `vsftpd': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

It looks like it didn't compiled vsftpd, no?

No errors when you did "make" in your vsftpd 3.x directory?

When I type in "make", it says that the compilation was terminated. make: *** [ftppolicy.o] Error 1.

Yup it didn't finish the compilation, ended it with an error

Look into your vsftpd source directory for compilation log files, they surelly contain detailed error lines

First check config.log in the source directory, make sure there is no error here as configure script has to finish cleanly before attempting a make

You can also try another "make" and post output errors lines before the
"make: *** [ftppolicy.o] Error 1."

I do not see a config.log file in the vsftpd directory.
Not sure what you mean - so "make: *** [ftppolicy.o] Error 1. make"?

Well I am not sure myself, I am curious to see the lines that you get in your terminal

the lines just before you see:

make: *** [ftppolicy.o] Error 1.

You need to install glibc header files. What is your linux distribution?

On Linux mint, you don't need to compile VSFTPD to install it, just do:
Code:
sudo apt-get install vsftpd
Or if you want to compile programs, you need at least build essential
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
