Dual FTP servers.

[CheshireKat]

Ok, so I'm running RH7 and would like to run a dual FTP system. Now of course RH installs WU-ftpd already I I woudl like to use that as my primary FTP, howvere would like to have a completly seperate one run on a different port. Are there any things I should watch out for while installing this? Shoudl I use a differntent FTP server? (I heard ProFTP was nice) Any info would be greatly apriciated. :eek:

if wu.ftpd is installed run the wu.ftp program w/ the port u want w/ the port being specified in /etc/services file.

you could for the second one have it listed in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file the wu.ftp command w/ the port option selected ( u would have to have get it from the man file I forget I believe it is -p PORT#) this should if u run a ps -Af |grep ftp result in two ftp processes running. If not check by ftping to them through some program other than 'ftp ' console program since it can't search a port other than the default use gftp from gnome .

BE SURE TO BACK UP FILES AS U EDIT THEM. a person who shall remain nameless messed his /etc/passwd file big time. :p the server was for a business too. :)

Good luck ;)
