Can someone help!!!

HOW TO INSTALL FTP IN REDHAT LINUX 7.0

Question #1
I tried so many time to execute the YUM INSTALL VSFTPD and I got this message:
LOADED PLUGINS: LANGPACKS, PRODUCT-ID, SUSCRIPTION-manager
NO PACKKAGE Vvsftpd available.
Error: Nothing to do.
How can I install the package for vsftpd?

Question #2
Everytime I logon as su I got the following message:

ABRT has detected 1 problem. For more info run:
abrt-cli list --since 1424883595

Sorry, that is NOT the message you got from RHEL 7, and that message is incomplete. The vsftpd server is in the RHEL repositories...if you're PAYING FOR RHEL, then typing in "yum install vsftpd" should be all you have to do. You need to type that in as root, or by prefacing that command with "sudo". There are also many guides you can find on Red Hat's knowldegebase on how to configure VSFTPD..have you looked?

Unless you're paying for RHEL...that will NOT WORK, since you're not paying for access to the RHEL repositories. If you're not paying, and this is a new installation, stop where you are and load CentOS 7 instead, which is almost identical, but FREE.
Ok...so did you run the command it suggested to you??? What did it tell you?? And you don't log in as 'su'...that is a command you run AFTER you log in..is that what you mean?

well you do not
unless you have hardware from 1990's and are being forced to use 20 year old hardware
rh7 is very old and went unsupported a VERY LONG time ago


now there is a DIFFERENT operating system under a DIFFERENT name
RedHat Enterprise Linux 7.0 ( RHEL 7.0 )


this is redhat so you did buy the required support contract
you know the $299 USD / year standard contract for the single DESKTOP install
or the $799 USD for the server install

that support contract gets you support from redhat

what has redhat tech support said ?
and have you tried a knowlagebase search

log into the redhat site with your credentials and search for
" install vsftpd"

Hi, Could you post the output from the following commands:
# uname -a
# yum repolist
# rpm -qa | grep vsftp


thanks

Thank you all for your help , I will be using sftp instead of vsftpd. By the way, with RedHat Linux 5.3 once you register your workstation once you register and get all the updates you can install vsftpd with no problem.

You can do the same with RHEL7.

You have to be properly subscribed using RHSM, and I'm sure that's the problem, here.

BTW, comparing RHEL 5.3 (as John VV will point out, that's 8 minor versions behind), to RHEL7 is not really a fair comparison. One is almost 15 years old...

Thanks GaWdly, I will try that.

Which is exactly what I told you in my first reply.....
