For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
FTP server on Fedora Linux

Using vsftpd ...

Turning on manually / for current boot

1. Log is as root
2. cd /etc/init.d
3. ./vsftpd start

[trainee@melksham ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@melksham ~]# cd /etc/init.d
[root@melksham init.d]# ./vsftpd start
Starting vsftpd for vsftpd: [ OK ]
[root@melksham init.d]#

4. Test from remote machine

earth-wind-and-fire:~ grahamellis$ ftp melksham
Connected to melksham.
220 (vsFTPd 2.0.4)
Name (melksham:grahamellis): trainee
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp>

restarting automatically on reboot

1. Log is as root
2. chkconfig vsftpd on
(you may wish to check with chkcofing --list as in this example:

[root@melksham ~]# chkconfig --list vsftpd
vsftpd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
[root@melksham ~]# chkconfig vsftpd on
[root@melksham ~]# chkconfig --list vsftpd
vsftpd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
[root@melksham ~]#

3. Reboot to test

If you are installing vsftpd yourself

1. Download (.tar.gz)
2. unpack
3. make
4. as root - make install

5. You will probably wish to configure vsftpd to loosen up some of the permissions; the Fedora Core version says in the config file "The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable. Please see vsftpd.conf.5 for all compiled in defaults." ... and they have the following active lines in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

anonymous_enable=YES
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_std_format=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
listen=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES
