vsftpd - how do i set it up / connect to it?

[Great Satchmo]

I've been looking around and trying my hardest to do this, but i can't do it yet.

I just installed Fendora Core 2, and vsftpd is on there (unless there are folders and some files for it, but not the actual server).

I can't find where anything is for it. I can reach the server with my ftp client on another computer, so the server is running. But i can't find where the files are served from. I also can't find any conifg files. I want to add users (maybe a group or two), change permissions, and get disallow annonymous. But i have no clue where all this stuff is.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

Try "locate vsftpd.conf"

On debian its located here

/etc/vsftpd.conf
etc/vsftpd.user_list

check out the docs:

ftp://vsftpd.beasts.org/users/cevans/untar/vsftpd-2.0.2/INSTALL


may not have or use the /etc/vsftpd.conf to start....:

"make install" doesn't copy the sample config file. It is recommended you
do this:
cp vsftpd.conf /etc

you are recommended to install a
config file. The default location for the config file is /etc/vsftpd.conf.

Try this:
rpm -ql vsftpd
to get the file listing of the installed package.
