FTP setup in Linux

for setting up ftp server you will need vsftpd rpm (OEM OS).

I have got the rpm from OEM 4.7 CD itself (CD 3).

vsftpd rpm is version specific.

vsftpd-2.0.1-6.el4.i386.rpm is suitable for OEM 4.7.

You may get the same rpm

Then i have read following documents for setting up FTP.

This is done so as to provide root to ftp login into system.
We had difficulties from other user logins such as ftp .We were not allowed to change the directories.
So I have setup root to ftp login However it is not recommended for security reasons.
