[WBEL-users] vsftpd is ftpd! but how to connect?

[jim stockford]

ftp has got a different name, starts with 'v' as in vsftpd.

so I can start (and stop) it
# /etc/init.d/vsftpd start

and ps -alx shows it's running, but when I try to connect,
connection times out.

So I'm guessing I don't understand things in
/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

I saved the original file as
/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.confORG
and saved my edits as /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.confNEW

/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf is a copy of either *ORG or *NEW,
depending on what state I'm in (depressed or hopeful).

right now, I'm both depressed and
hopefully,
