Installing ftp server on RHEL4
 

I'm new in linux and I want to install the ftp server in my linux rhel 4 already installed to store oracle database. Note that vsftpd does not exist in the server.
Any help?

Hi. Are you trying to install vsftpd? If so then all you can use up2date to do that.

After installing vsftpd-2.0.5 and trying to start vsftpd I receive the followin error
500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot open config file:start

The below is my vsftpd.conf in /etc

background=YES
listen=YES
anonymous_enable=YES
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
check_shell=NO
#dirmessage_enable=YES
ftpd_banner=Welcome to Asus FTP service based on OpenWRT
session_support=NO

Any help?
Regards

check configuration file permissions,

Working permissions:

-rw------- 1 root root 4195 Aug 16 2006 /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

---
Is it wanting the conf in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf instead of just in /etc?

Perhaps. You can also pass the '-f' flag which tells it where the config file is.

-twantrd

If you are typing in something like "vsftpd start"

instead try

"nohup vsftpd >/tmp/vsftpd.out 2>&1 &"

ie - miss out the word "start"..
