May I suggest Sarim, that if you want help, you stop sending HTML formated email, it is REALLY annoying for the people on this list that tend to provide the most help. Check your email client settings and disable it (you can normally do it on a per message basis). I would also suggest, that you place YOUR replies at the BOTTOM of the email (as I am doing). It makes the "conversation" easier to read if several people are replying. About your problem. You may not have vsftpd installed on your machine, go to a command line and type... $ rpm -qi vsftpd You are likely to have the below response. package vsftpd is not installed So you will need to install the package, to do this you use a program called "yum", it is similar to apt, and is very useful, I would suggest you practise using it. $ su - root Password: root]# yum install vsftpd Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies Dependencies resolved I will do the following: [install: vsftpd 1.2.1-5.i386] Is this ok [y/N]: (enter y here) Downloading Packages Getting vsftpd-1.2.1-5.i386.rpm Running test transaction: Test transaction complete, Success! vsftpd 100 % done 1/1 Installed: vsftpd 1.2.1-5.i386 Transaction(s) Complete You now have vsftpd installed. If you check int he services you should now see it listed. If you want to find files associated with vsftpd type this at the command line $rpm -ql vsftpd It will then give you a nice long list, including the location of config files. Hope this helps. Doug. P.S. PLEASE try and not to post html messages...
