vsftpd is not equal to sftp! If you want to use vsftpd you need to set it up via inetd or xinetd. This can be done from YaST's network services panel. You will then have to toggle ftp on and make sure that it references the vsftpd daemon. I don't think that you want to use the other ones that come with the distro (proftpd or wuftpd) as they are pretty regular customers on bugtraq. Again, if you use vsftpd or pure-ftpd your communications will not be encrypted by default. Best regards, Alex. On Wed, 8 Oct 2003 pseep@mail.gr wrote:
I have installed the vsftpd, however but it says that it cannot run as standalone (only start this service with the inetd)
how to start it and what is the port of sftp to enable it in the firewall?

I use pure-ftpd and have been quite happy with it so far. It is
on the pro
version (not sure about the personal one as I don't have that). Simply install, and configure to your needs by editing the /etc/pure-ftpd.conf file. It may also help to read the man page of pure-ftpd. Make sure you open up the right ports on your firewall for it to work.
If you don't need anonymous access, a much better solution would be to use sftp as it will use ssh to connect and encrypt your up- and down-loads.
Cheers, Alex.
