1- sudo apt-get install vsftpd

2- double click on a file called vsftpd.conf

Change the "anonymous_enable" setting to NO

Change the "local_enable" setting to YES.

3- sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart # to enable change#

4- ftp ftp.nixcraft.in

I get a message:

ftp: ftp.nixcraft.in: no address associated with hostname

and also when i write the commend

ftp localhost

i get the message :

ftp: connect: connection refused

ftp>

please help to solve this problem >>> thanks in advance

do you have DNS set up or a host entry for ftp.nixcraft.in

 

it also sounds like the deamon is not runnign if you can't connect to localhost.

The command:

 

nslookup ftp.nixcraft.in

 

will resolve the address. I can't resolve it, so unless we both have the same error, it looks like the address is wrong.
