Look in /etc/inetd.conf for a line like this: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/wu-ftpd -l If it's commented, uncomment it then run /etc/init.d/inetd restart You should have an ftp server. If that line wasn't commented, then your inetd isn't running. To enable it make sure it it's in the /etc/rcX.d/ directory for your runlevel. Determine your runlevel from grep initdefault /etc/inittab # (it's the number after the first colon). then if there's not a symlink from /etc/rcX.d/S20inetd to ../init.d/inetd make one. Sorry if I explained things a little too much, I don't know your sysadmin level. If I didn't explain at enough detail, just say which parts need more detail.
