Hi,

You do most of the configuration by amending the 'ftpaccess' file.

Information should be in the 'man' pages supplied.

Just check this link

http://www.wu-ftpd.org/HOWTO/guest.HOWTO

you have to use the ftpaccess file for that.

/etc/ftpaccess

ALso check this

http://www.wu-ftpd.org/man/ftpaccess.html

actually the line of the file inetd.conf is:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l -a

I have to replace the command /usr/lbin/ftpd for /opt/wu_ftpd/sbin/ftpd for example

Thank you.

Yes, in order to replace the standard ftp daemon with wu_ftpd, you do have to change that line in inetd.conf then reconfigure inetd with 'inetd -c'.

You are telling inetd which program to run when it gets an ftp connection.
