FTP server configuration!
Hello,

I use fedora linux. I want to configure my FTP server. Actually, I don't know anything about this server except that I know I have installed it. Please guide me with this.

Thx

There are 3 steps for that :
1. on the tool bar, from Applications -> System Settings -> Security Level, check the box for FTP to enable the service. By default it is disabled.

2. Then it is a good idea to restart the service on the command prompt : service vsftpd restart.
this command should stop and restart the service. just make sure that the second output is OK.

3. This should enable you to ftp to your Fedora box from outside computers. Then you may want to modify the /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file, such as disabling anonymous login, or connection timeout values...

I hope this helps.
