Most servers can be started by a script in the /etc/init.d directory. Look for something like /etc/init.d/ftpd. Then, the command line is ... /etc/init.d/ftpd start Similary, to stop the server, issue the stop argument. Generally scripts in the /etc/init.d directory will take start, stop, restart, or status as parameters. There are other parameters as well. Just read the script. As for configuring ftpd, that's for a man page to answer (or someone with more time and experience). I hope this helps, Josh On Tue, 2003-03-11 at 04:49, Eng Se-Hsieng wrote: > Hi, > > I installed a custom installation of Redhat 7.3 and would like to get > the simplest ftp server running. > > ftp localhost gives me "ftp: connect: Connection refused" > > I would like to use the basic linux-ftpd-0.17 but typing "ftpd" doesn't > help.
