Hi,
I'm not sure what are you asking for.
But if you want to enable telnet, ftp on server
you can perform this by running command:
ntsysv

Hi,

#netstat -an

will give you the list of services opened and the associated ports.

With Regards,

Re: Open telnet, ftp

Check as,

# netstat -na | grep -E '23|25'

# telnet localhost

# telnet localhost ftp

has to work without getting connection refused error.

Re: Open telnet, ftp

If you use Red Hat ES, you need to:

Install the vsftpd and telnet-server packages. If not already installed, use:

redhat-config-packages

or

system-config-packages

Then enable the services using:

chkconfig vsftpd on
service vsftpd start

chkconfig telnet on
service xinetd reload

REMEMBER: Telnet should not be used any more, it's insecure and it's replaced by ssh. SSH is installed and enabled by default.

Re: Open telnet, ftp

make sure you have installed telnet-server and vsftp packages.
You can test it with following commands:
rpm -qa | grep vsftp
rpm -qa "grep telnet

After that, for starting FTP excute :
/etc/init.d/vsftpd start

for telnet, first you have to enable it in xinetd. for this issue edit /etc/xinetd.d/telnet and change "disable" option from "yes" to "no"
finally you have to restart xinetd:
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
