Now, my RH 7.1 can telnet after some Expert help me. but when I try to use FTP, I find that service didn't available. I try to config it and go to /Xinetd.d, but I can't find FTP file.
Which file I have to reconfig?

Check if the ftp server is installed.

rpm -qa | grep wu-ftpd

You should see something like this "wu-ftpd-2.6.1-16". Note the version number might differ. If no, you would need to install the ftp server.

Goto you redhat cd and find a file that look something like this, wu-ftpd-2.6.1-16.rpm. Then run this command to install the package.

rpm -i wu-ftpd-2.6.1-16.rpm

Then you will need to edit the wu-ftpd file in /etc/xinet.d to enable the service. And restart the xinetd daemon

Be sure that you install the wu-ftpd file from RH7.1 CD.

Login as administrator [root] and go to the /etc/xinetd.d subdirectory and edit the
wu-ftpd file.

The command is: vi wu-ftpd [then press enter]

Since the default of the wu-ftpd fileis set to
disable=yes, replace the yes to no. After this
you must save the file. Be sure to stop and start
the network or by rebooting the server. After you
reboot the system, you must get a response from
the ftp request from your server. I hope this will help.
