They say on vsftpd exist. How do I set it up. I would like to transfer some files from windows client into redhat 3.0 server.

Suse has ftp but I am having trouble with it.

I have never user anyting else. Please, a step by step reply is much appreciate.

On Red Hat, you only need to install and enable the service, for more advanced configuration, see man vsftpd.conf. The default configuration file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf will work.

Shalom keita,

You need a support agreement ($300) for Red Hat's ES 3.0 server.

Then you dowload the vsftp rpm from http://www.redhat.com

Or

http://www.vsftpdrocks.org/vsftpd-1.1.3-8.i386.rpm

It my actually be there. It may actually work. I recommend getting it from RH.

Hi Keita,

To transfer files from and to windows machines the best option is smbclinet on the linux machine.
Install the samba share and
samba client rpms. Then you can use the smbclient command to connect to windows machines. See man smbclient. Almost all the ftp commnads works on smbclient also.
