How to Get VSFTPD Started



How to Get VSFTPD Started

You can start, stop, or restart VSFTPD after booting using these commands:

     [root@bigboy tmp]# service vsftpd start
     [root@bigboy tmp]# service vsftpd stop
     [root@bigboy tmp]# service vsftpd restart

To configure VSFTPD to start at boot, use the chkconfig command:

     [root@bigboy tmp]# chkconfig vsftpd on

Note

In Red Hat Linux version 8.0 and earlier, VSFTPD operation is controlled by the xinetd process, which is covered in Chapter 16, "TELNET, TFTP, and XINETD." You can find a full description of how to configure these versions of Linux for VSFTPD in Appendix III, "Fedora Version Differences."
