Have you configured vsftpd in (x)inetd as yet? Yast --> Network Services --> Network Services
Done
At the top of the page you will see radio buttons for Enable/Disable (x)inetd Also you should be able to enable vsftpd there.
in.ftpd with me
Also in Yast --> System --> Runlevel Editor check to see if (x)inetd is enabled.
Done if I understood well Yast2

Now if I type (SuSE-8.2)
/etc/init.d/xinetd ===> unused
Thus I type
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart --> done done
But if I retype
/etc/init.d/status ==> unused
This message means you have not got anything enabled in xinetd. see atached snapshot of Yast xinetd config. Use the toggle button to enable the service you need.
Now I just need to enable Ftp in my Home-Lan for file transfers between my labtop and another station. I have to keep SuSE-8.1 on my labtop to still be able to do it (one way of course).
Thus is there an easy way to enable ftp transfers between two stations?
If you need to copy files in a one off situation I would use scp. It is far easier to use then setting up an ftp server. To recursively copy a whole directory use the following command.
scp -r -p /<File-Path>/ <user>@
:<File-Path> eg to copy from my computer /home/graham/Documents to another computer on my lan I would use the following command scp -r -p ~/Documents/* graham@10.10.10.21:Documents
I would suggest you have a little play with the command before doing a large directory structure. Also have a look at the man page for scp and sftp
You will find you will have to do a lot of configuring with vsftp. I have played with in the past and found it is a bit of a pain to set up.
The other thing to consider is NTFS. It is very easy to setup and can be done via YAST. On a laptop I would suggest you configure the mount with the 'noauto' option in /etc/fstab. It stops the computer hanging when not connected to your network.
If you have any questions about the above, drop me an email.

Thanks but it was a lot easier to uncomment vsftpd line in /etc/inetd.conf then rcinetd start (or /etc/init.d/inetd start). You need now a snapshot to know where to "click-click" in Yast2 to enable a ftp server. It remembers me the time a friend of mine spent to enable IIS in Windows. I suppose that, thanks to Yast2, it will be now a pain in the ass to install Apache. Which language do you have to learn to know where to "click-click" in Yast2? As for scp and ssh I know but in my home lan I prefer to work with Midnight-Commander. Easier and faster if you want to select and transfer a lot of files. In a closed lan of course. Thanks though. -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre@bartydeux.be http://bartydeux.be Linux User #315631
