Gianfranco, if I well remember vsftp doesn't run by default. You have to enable it manually. chkconfig --list vsftpd #It will give you an answer if it's running at your default runlevel, i.e 3 or 5. #If it's not, enable it by: chkconfig --level 35 vsftpd on #double check it again chkconfig --list vsftpd #you should see that it's configured to run on levels 3 and 5 at startup #once you see this correctly then: service vsftpd start Regards, -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
