How do you start an FTP server program ?
This might be a silly question , but it is
something for which I have no answer.
In our server , we faced a two-fold problem :
o One that we could not log-in as any user.This I solved
by entering single-user mode (on rebooting after we knew
something was wrong).
o The second thing is we can not ftp onto our server !
This has to mean that the FTP server program , was :
- either corrupted
- or not installed
- or mysteriously un-installed
We settled for the first reason , because
/usr/sbin/in.ftpd
existed.
Now I tried /usr/sbin/in.ftpd -S which is supposed to make the
daemon run.But when I did a
ps -A|less or ps -A|grep in.ftpd
I did not find any semblance to ftp among the processes
displayed.
Please help me out. My problem is extermely urgent.
Thanks in advance,
Shyam
