Fedora Core 1, start FTP and Telnet servers?

[ZiaTioN]

During install I enabled these ports (21 and 23) in the firewall to be passed but now that I am looking into it these 2 services are not running and therefore are not listening for active connections.

How do I start the default command line ftp and telnet servers that come with Fedora Core 1?

Also I have ssh enabled and it is running. I was able to connect via ssh to the system but when I try to initiate a sftp file transfer it hangs and never transfers a single bit! I did not think sftp relied on ftp to operate but could this be the case?

For ssh you also need port 22. You are right, you do not need ftp running for sftp, just have to have sftp server enabled in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

To turn on and start telnet and ftp servers:

Code: Select all

# chkconfig telnet on
# chkconfig vsftpd on
# service vsftpd start
# service xinetd reload


Of course that assumes you actually have telnet-server and vsftpd installed.

Yeah the vsftpd was able to be initialized but not the telnet server. I thought I had installed it since I chose just about ever server app to install but it gives me an error when I issue the "chkconfig telnet on" command.

The error is as follows:

error reading information on service telnet: no such fi8le or directory

It appears it is not installed. Is there a decent place to grab the telnet server manually? I have not installed apt-get yet so I cannot use that approach. Maybe I will have to search for an rpm somewhere.

You can check to see if it is installed by doing:

Code: Select all

rpm -q telnet-server


If it is not installed it would be on one of your Fedora CDs under the /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS directory and the name starts with "telnet-server". You could install it off your CD by:

Code: Select all

# rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/telnet-server*


or you can install it off the net by:

Code: Select all

# rpm -Uvh http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/1/i386/RPMS.os/telnet-server-0.17-26.2.i386.rpm

Got it from the web (which I was able to do since fixing my dns issues in my other thread). Thanks again man.
