Help please (VSFTPD server)

Ok I think I might only be a cuple of steps away from from getting this all set up just need a little help with the end part. (I have searched the forums and found nothing that will help me I have also searched on google and I have read the doc's on there home page but they only confused the hell out of me so please do tell me to google it or search the fourms) I would read the docs that come in the install folder but I dont got one do to slackware came with it pre-installed.

so hears my problem.

1. my lo is takeing up my port 21 and would like to know how to stop lo from running that port.

2.if I take lo down with the ifconfig lo down command I can get to start vsftpd server but I cant connect to it from any ftp clients not even the shell ftp will connect to it. I would put the log file in the post but for some reason it not logging. Both the ftp shell and ftp client time out before getting connected

3. vsftpd is not loging I have dual logging on and sending it to the vsftpd folder but no logs.

So the logs not working im sending my vsftpd.conf file may be I messed some thing up in it.

hears the file if you want to download it and try it your self
vsftpd.conf -- FileFactory.com - free file hosting --

Now I do have have all the files and text files maid and the ones that needed a data base, data based so if any one can help please do.

You can test your port settings with `nmap localhost`. Does this show you an open ftp port?

How did you start the vsftp daemon? I take it you did enable it in /etc/inetd.conf?

im useing it as a stand alone so I dont have to mess with the inetd. and this is messed up its telling me that port 21 is open but vsftpd will not connect hmm I just might have to mess with the inetd.conf :( this is not going to be fun. I will have to deal with it after I get my Xserver updated which is also being a pain life is so much fun when useing slackware.

It shouldn't be that hard. But it's a bit of a puzzle, so you have to get the exact right pieces in place.

From /etc/inetd:

Code:

# These are standard services: # # Very Secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server. #ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd vsftpd # # Professional File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server. #ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd proftpd

Uncomment the vsftp line and

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd restart nmap localhost ftp localhost

By the way, this is one of the better collection of howto's I've seen about Slackware.

thank Freston I all ready had f
ftp stream tcp nowait root /user/sbin/scpd vsftpd all ready uncommented and with that other part dont it works like a charm and thanks for the link I will have to look in to it ferther.
