How do I setup ftp from telnet... I do not have access to upload my files via ftp yet.
Ivan

I do not know how to set up ftp access for MYSELF....... I cant even get in.... I just purchased a different dedicated server and they just left me out to dry... I do not want to waste $99 just to upgrade.... screw them and their mothers!! I cant stand this... I have looked EVERYwhere on how to install ftp for myself and I can even get that up on the internet... I checked Red Hat Linuxs' website and they say to put in the cd.... well duh I called the company thats hosting my server and asked them to put in the cd... And he said "Oh, we cant just put in the cd." :confused: So, I say "Well, then how do I install ftp on my server." and they said "We dont support Red Hat Linux." You dont support it!! Then why the HELL do you have it installed on MY server you stupid piece of SH*T!! I HATE THIS COMPANY!!:angry: But am not willing to spend $99 just to switch somewhere else!

Well, so my question again is, "How do you install FTP via telnet?"
I am in a real bind here...
Anyhelp will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Ivan

Whoa there..... calm down...... rackshack is an unmanaged dedicated server provider, which means its your responsiblity to know how to do that.

As far as ftp you can start at www.proftpd.org

but be warned, managing a server is not easy, and yes, you do get what you pay for.

Rackshack's server is unmanaged; they only give you the server, you are supposed to manage it yourself. Otherwise you should go with rackspace.com or some other managed service provider.

Having said that, here is how you install FTP. Go to rpmfind.net and search for proftpd, find that one that's for Redhat 7.2. Log in to ssh(I hope you are not using telnet), type "cd" (to change to home directory), and type "wget <link>" where the link is the one you find on rpmfind.net. It should have the extension .rpm.

After the file finish downloading, su to root, and type rpm -Uvh <name of rpm file>. Assuming nothing goes wrong, you now have ftp access.

an ftpd should be already installed, but i'd uninstall proftpd and install ncftpd (more secure and less holes) but since you just got it, stick with proftpd. most likely it's already installed, but its service might just not be started?

you need to provide more information about the sever to get help, ie: os & what ftpd you want installed.

i'll be willing to help you if you want, just need to provide more info. pm me or reply here.

How do I start the ftp service?

Ivan

I see after posting in one of your previous thread that you spammed the forum, your posts will all be deleted. How about you read the forum rules, if this is how you conduct yourself, i dont blame rackshack for being less then helpful.

if it is a rackshack box, it'd be best to install linuxconf since they can't seem to find the option to install that when re-installing the os for the new customer. then look inside that for the 'control services' then go down to ftpd and hit enter, then tab over to start, and it should start it.

try just "proftpd" on command line

... ok the server ARE unmanaged but so are our servers too. Unmanaged means that I am indeed not liable to setup anything for you BUT I must give you a solution. That would be like for amount x$, "managed" tasks are performed.

Not giving a solution at all though is totally inacceptable as the client is NOT there and he cannot f.e. put the RH CD in.
Just my 2 Dollars and 21 cents...

If you didnt know what you were doing then why didnt you get a managed or semi managed server? You have bought an unmanged server, which means you dont get help with it.

http://www.proftpd.org/

Good luck...

Crossposting is not good ;)

The command line (stupid for asking this), but where is the command line? the directory where the program is? I am using TELNET only.... that is the only access I have to the server at this point...

I know how to do the command line in my ftp program, but as you have read, I do not know how to install the ftp :o)
Thank you all for your help.

Do you have an email i can reach you at? some sort of contact.

"We dont support Red Hat Linux." You dont support it!! Then why the HELL do you have it installed on MY server you stupid piece of SH*T!!
Because you decided to lease an unmanaged server with Red Hat installed on it. When you signed up, they told you that they don't support any software. You agreed to this.

You are in way over your head.

I 'd suggest that you purchase support at Red Hat -> http://www.redhat.com/products/

Thats like buying a car, without knowing how to drive, and declaring that the car sucks because they sold you a car you have to drive yourself, and they won't help you learn how to drive it. And you start SPAMing about how bad they suck.
