I understand.  We've all been there.  If you look at each of those
files you'll notice that the comments at the top are pretty
explanatory.  The .conf file is the one to start with.  The comments
are very straightforward and I easily setup my server in about 5
minutes.  I had never used vsftpd before then.  The .ftpusers and
.user_list is a bit confusing in the comments, to keep things short
and sweet, you can leave everything the way it is in the 2 userlists,
all they check for is who _can't_ login via ftp.  Enable write and
try logging in using your username and password.  Don't use root, by
default it's not allowed. With write enabled you'll ftp straight to
your home directory /home/(username) and you'll be able to PUT and
GET files from there.  Does that make sense?

Mark,

I am a newbie to Linux so please excuse me. I checked in my etc
directory and saw vsftpd.conf, vsftpd.ftpusers, vsftpd.user_list.

Do I need to do anything to those files? Can I use gFTP 2.0.13 to
receive a file? If so, how?

John, that really all depends on the ftp daemon you're running.  Is
it vsftpd or wu-ftpd or other?  In vsftpd all you do to allow
uploading is set write_enable=YES in vsftpd.conf.  You'll need to
look at the man page or the comments in the .conf file to configure
anon access, etc.

hi,

Can someone tell me how to set up FTP server from your Linux server
so I can upload to your FTP site? I have the package already loaded?

thanks
