Do you have a reason to use wu-ftpd over vsftpd? vsftpd is the default ftp server for RHEL3 (and therefore clones, like Cenots) and it is included on your CD or via the mirrors: ftp://mirror.aelix.com/pub/cAos/centos-3/3.3/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/vsftpd-1.2.1-3.i386.rpm So, if it isn't already installed, you can just run # yum install vsftpd and you will get vsftpd installed. Then, you will need to configure it and such, but that's another topic. Greg
grab the wu-ftpd from redhat 8.0 update. It works fine. Of course, you should monitor wu-ftpd homepage yourself for continuous security patches. Fernando Mustieles wrote:> Hi!

Frenando,
I had no problems with the vsftp instructions on the
RedHat site, starting here:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/ref-guide/s1-ftp-servers.html
The section on ftp starts here:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/ref-guide/ch-ftp.html
There was one essential point that I did not get from
the manual (I had to find it the hard way): any
directory in your ftp server that you want to be
publicly accessible needs to be "executable" by
everyone ("o" for "others") -- one enters a directory
by "executing" it.
I recommend vsftp because 1) I assume RedHat had good
reasons for choosing it, and 2) you have RedHat
supporting it.
