linux FTP

We are using vsFTPd.

vsFTPd is not compliant with security policy but is acceptable for dev env I think.
DTIS security policy requires a secure FTP server (where passwords are not clear text).
That exercise seems like a distraction as of March 11, 2008 so I'll revisit.

Installing
$ yum install vsftpd
$ rpm -q vsftpd
$ /sbin/chkconfig vsftpd on
$ /sbin/service vsftpd start

Security
Default setting on SELinux will prevent access to home directories.
To allow access run this command:
$ /usr/sbin/setsebool -P ftp_home_dir 1
