Installing ftp (vsftpd)


1. Install “vsftpd”
2. Once installed go to the:
1. “/etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd” file and change the “disabled” value to “no”.
3. Vi the “/etc/vsftpd.conf” file and uncomment the line “Listen = NO”. Make sure the option is set to “NO”
4. Now restart the “xinetd” (”rcxinetd restart” for SuSE or “service xinetd restart” other distros like Redhat)
5. Vi the file “etc/ftpusers” and add in any user you don’t want to access your ftp site. By default “root” is included in this file.

Test your ftp access by typing “ftp 192.168.0.1″ or whatever the IP address is, in the shell. If it is working you will be asked for a username and password. you can log on as anonymous.
