vsftpd won't connect
Hi:
I successfully have the service "vsftpd" started. Here's the weird thing. First, I can't connect to the FTP at all. If I try to restart vsftpd, it says: Stopping vsftp: [FAILED] Starting vsftpd: [ok] If I try to stop it, it fails. If I try to connect doing: ftp localhost I got the output of Code:
[root@coopercentral root]# ftp localhost Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1). 500 OOPS: could not bind listening socket ftp> quit [root@coopercentral root]# Why doesn't this work? How can I enable FTP to work again? Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!!! Ken Cooper

ok, from what I've heard ProFTPd is better than vsftpd, so I'm deciding to change to there. But here's, my question, if I totally get rid of the vsftpd service, I go here:
Code:
nmap localhost and one of the choices is: 21/tcp ftp I don't have vsftpd running, yet 21 is still open to ftp. Does that mean that another FTP program is running? Is there anything that could be running? I just had vsftpd running, that's it. I don't have any other FTP server running as far as I know. Thanks for your help!!! Ken Cooper |

try this..
check the config file /etc/vsftpd.conf
try to find int the file the attribute listen=YES comment it by putting # or simply remove that line.. then try restarting your xinetd service by typing service vsftpd restart Last edited by pepesmith : June 20th, 2004 at 07:30 AM. Reason: wrong sentence.. |
