I downloaded and installed the proftpd ....
[root@rhwebapp root]# /usr/local/sbin/proftpd
- warning: AuthPAMAuthoritative is deprecated
[root@rhwebapp root]# ps -aux | grep ftp
nobody 1346 0.0 0.1 2380 1240 ? S 13:51 0:00 proftpd: (accepti
root 1348 0.0 0.0 1732 580 pts/0 S 13:51 0:00 grep ftp
it looks okay for me .... but when I try to ftp to the server it gave
[root@rhwebapp root]# ftp localhost
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
ftp> quit
What could be the problem?
what about the warning with PAM?
