ftp server

[orufet]

Installin wu-ftpd was easy for red hat 7; I just opened the RPM and it installed fine. However, I'm not sure how to run it so that when I go to ftp://localhost/ (or my IP) it acts as an FTP server would....how do I do that?

try going to /etc/xinetd.d
open wu-ftdd
comment the line disable=yes (place a # at beginning of line)

i think then go to /etc/rc.d/init.d and restart xinetd (./xinetd restart)

then you should be able to connect, if remember correctly. i don't think you need to manually start the ftp service, xinetd starts it upon a ftp request.

configuration files are in the /etc directory:
ftpusers
ftphosts
ftpconversions
ftpgroups
ftpaccess

hope this helps
:D
