So in case you reply with HTML, it is likely that I won't see your reply. > The server was working fine. Monday morning at 7:30am files were uploaded > to the server. At 8am we rebooted the server.

First of all, verify the vsftpd package integrity: rpm --verify vsftpd Then stop the service: service vsftpd stop Look if the ftp port is free: netstat -tpa | grep ftp Verify that you have user "ftp" in /etc/passwd (and /etc/shadow). Verify ftp's home directory. Then -- although you write you've done this already -- start with a config file that is known to be 100% error-free. Simple mistakes like a coment '#' removed from the beginning of a comment-line can be enough to confuse vsftpd. service vsftpd start What do you get? - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/Hr9B0iMVcrivHFQRAqLsAJ9vJ2VQjwFttgMjXI+4QCCUviyP8QCfUzNk 4C6Kc/pfgjBgqCuieWMJBuQ= =shA9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
