simple ftp server

Lately vsftpd is growing in popularity.

But I installed ftpd as I didn't know vsftpd and works fine anyway.

Install (debian):

sudo apt-get install ftpd

You can deny access by:

1. editing /etc/hosts.allow, hosts.deny
2. editing /etc/ftpusers
3. editing /etc/services

One thing I always forget is to do

/etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart

After updating /etc/services...

That's about it for the basics. Give it a try to copy stuffs from other servers or your cellphone (connect it to the same network with wifi), it's the fastest thing you can use.
