Hi,
I installed redhat 8(psyche) recently and did so with the ftp option enabled. I am not sure what daemon it is. I am new to this environment.
I can ftp out of the machine no problem but i cant ftp into the machine.
I have checked the security permissioins and the firewall, which was also setup at installation time, is in the default position. As a result, no incoming traffic can get through.
I have tried to customise by clicking that option and then enabling the ftp option. However when i click ok to this and go back into the security level windows nothing changed.
So it seems i can not enable the ftp, or any incoming, traffic for that mater.
I am logged in as root.
Did i do something wrong on installation, i cant see where, or is there something i have to click to allow root to change the security level on the firewall?
Make sure you have run up2date --register and that when you run "up2date -l" that you either get a message saying "all packages are already up2date" or a list of available packages.
Then log in to your machine as "root"
Get a command prompt
Type "chkconfig --list | grep -i ftp"
If you don't see anything, then run "up2date -i vsftpd" and try the chkconfig --list again.
Run "chkconfig vsftpd on"
Run "service iptables stop"
Run "up2date -u redhat-config-securitylevel" Run "redhat-config-securitylevel" and select Security Level Medium, Then select custom, and make sure that under the checked boxes only the services (e.g. "ssh" and "ftp") are checked.
click "OK"
Try the FTP connection to your machine from a remote box, and make sure you use
passive FTP.
If it still doesn't work, reply back with the output of the commands from "iptables-save" "rpm -qa | grep -i ftp" "rpm --verify vsftpd" "netstat -nr" "ifconfig -a" "chkconfig --list | grep ftp" "netstat -nap | grep LISTEN"
