OK, next question is I need to all ftp requests to a sub-directory like /filebin With vsftpd I am wondering about how to do this ? I have set up paswd to /filebin for sub-directory but I get the permission error : 500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable anonymous root What should be the umask/permission etc. stuff with vsftpd ? Thanks /Dee

Hmmm.. I dont' see how to add vsftpd in the likes of insserv aor chkconfig ? Am I clueless on auto stupid on this ?

vsftpd needs inetd. Install inetd, comment the line from /etc/inetd.conf which contains vsftpd in, and do insserv inetd.

Might be you've to do rcinetd start the very first time.
