what website to download free ftp for RHEL5?

[atran214]

Hi,

I am very new to linux. I just install RHEL5 on a Dell x64 server. I want to learn how to install desktop thru FTP. What website can I go to download free FTP software?

Thanks,
Allen

Welcome to the forums!

You can find information about some free FTP clients here:

FTP Clients | Linux App Finder

...is that what you mean, or are you looking for FTP servers?

I am looking for software (redhat rpm) so that I can make my server as a ftp server. Then, I can install my test desktop thru ftp method.

Thanks,
Allen

I have found a website to download my ftp server (RPM Search). Thanks, Allen

Doesn't Red Hat still keep vsftpd packages available on their servers? They used to, but I'm not sure now.

Maybe it's already installed. Check for it with:

rpm -q vsftpd

If not installed, you could try the following to install it:

yum install vsftpd

Maybe a RHEL user will chime in with more help.


Edit: I was typing when you posted... glad you found it!

well, I use rpm -q vsftpd and the result is "package vsftpd is not installed". I use command locate vsftpd and the result is below:

/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logfiles/vsftpd.conf
/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/vsftpd.conf
/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/vsftpd

so, what does the result above mean?

Thanks for quick response,
Allen
