how to make vsftpd work?

[weifan]

After I installed the RH9 with ftp server, I activate vsftpd from ntsysv. However, I still can not ftp my server.

I tried "netstat -a | grep ftp" and got nothing. I checked it with "ps aux" and didn't see the ftp server.

Can someone please tell me where I need to modify or activate?

TIA

I'm guessing that vsftpd runs as a daemon under xinetd. You may need to start xinetd first. Some servers can run as both standalone and as an extented service daemon. If this is the case make sure it is NOT trying to start in both modes.

You will need to modify the following files:

/etc/vsftpd/vsftdp.conf
/etc/vsftpd.ftpusers
/etc/vsftpd.user_list
