Installing WU-FTPDForum: Networking Topic: Installing WU-FTPD started by: sgilbert Posted by sgilbert on Sep. 11 2005,19:13
I'm using DSL on an old computer as my webserver. I've had a hard time trying to make Monkey works before i figured out that my ISP block port 80 and 21 (and maybe more). I changed it to 8080 and now everything's fine for Monkey. I can't seem to change BetaFTPd port (and from what i read on the website, many features are missing), so i wanted to install WU-ftpd and that way, be able to change the ftp port. But I can't seem to be able to run it.Here's what I've done so far : - download and uncompress the bins in /opt/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/bin - put the following files in etc/ ftpaccess ftpconversions ftpusers ftpservers - add the following lines to etc/services wuftpd-data 4020/tcp wuftpd 4021/tcp - add the following lines to etc/inetd.conf wuftpd stream tcp nowait root usr/sbin/tcpd /opt/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/bin/ftpd -l -a I've run inetd but when I try to connect (locally), nothing happens, like there's no FTP server listenning on the port. My biggest question is : I've tried running ftpd (just typing "ftpd") from the command line but when I do a PS (ps | grep ftpd) it is not in memory, am I missing something? I'm at my early age on linux, so I may be missing something obvious. If there's easier ftp server, I'm taking suggestions. Any help/tips are welcomed. Thanks. |
