RED HAT as 2.1 ftp

[andrew medhurst]

I am trying to set up FTP on red hat as 2.1,
But when i try to install the RPM it tells me that it is already installed, its not.
i have then tried to remove it to reinstall but it tells me that it is not installed ?.
i have tried to reinstall using the --force option and the replacepkgs option and all seems to go as planned but it still does not set up ftp.
now a little lost as to what to try next, maybe see if there is another rpm to install, i checked the red hat web site to no avail.
has anyone seen this before and if so HELP!.
regards
Andrew

It does.

It must be intalled as a legacy server service.

Once installed:

cd /etc/xinetd.d

vi the ftp entry

change diable=yes

to

disable=no

save

service xinetd restart

ftp and all its security holes enabled.

Or one simple command:


chkconfig ftp on

to be precise, you should

1) to check if wu-ftpd server installed:
rpm -q wu-ftpd

2) to allow it :

chkconfig wu-ftpd on

Hi

For ftp you need to install wu-ftpd
do a
rpm -q wu-ftpd to check if it is installed

Once you install it enable the ftp

hi!
to install ftp in redhat. i recommend you install vsftp for your ftp service !
originally redhat include vsftp rpm in it!
if u have default install as2 or as3, the vsftpd already in it!
you can try :(command under)

#chkconfig --list | grep vsftpd
if u see its status is off!
u can open it!
#chkconfig vsftpd on
#service vsftpd start

after that! ftp daemon will be available
