Configuring Telnet/FTP Servers

Configuring Telnet/FTP Servers:

Linux is configured to run the Telnet and FTP server, but by default, these services are not enabled. To enable the telnet these service, login to the server as the root userid and edit the files:

% /etc/xinet.d/telnet

In this file, find the line for disable and change it from the value "yes" to "no".

After changing the above value(s), you will need to restart the xinetd deamon. As the root userid, type the following command:

% /etc/init.d/xinetd reload

Starting with the Fedora Core 1 release, the FTP server (wu-ftpd) is no longer available with xinetd. It has been replaced with vsftp and can be started from /etc/init.d/vsftpd as in the following:

% /etc/init.d/vsftpd start
