I am away for the weekend but I will take a look tonight when I get home.

Okay in /etc/xinetd.d/ I found 2 files that are clearly FTP...
tftp
Code:
# default: off
# description: tftp service is provided primarily for booting or when a \
# router need an upgrade. Most sites run this only on machines acting as
# "boot servers".
service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftpboot
disable = yes
}
and vsftp
Code:
# default: off
# description:
# The vsftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses
# normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication.
# vsftpd is designed to be secure.
#
# NOTE: This file contains the configuration for xinetd to start vsftpd.
# the configuration file for vsftp itself is in /etc/vsftpd.conf
service ftp
{
# server_args =
# log_on_success += DURATION USERID
# log_on_failure += USERID
# nice = 10
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/vsftpd
}
and the output of ls -la /etc/xinetd.d/
Code:

Put into /etc/xinetd.d/vsftp:
Code:
# default: off
# description:
# The vsftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses
# normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication.
# vsftpd is designed to be secure.
#
# NOTE: This file contains the configuration for xinetd to start vsftpd.
# the configuration file for vsftp itself is in /etc/vsftpd.conf
service ftp
{
# server_args =
# log_on_success += DURATION USERID
# log_on_failure += USERID
# nice = 10
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/vsftpd
disable = yes
}
and restart xinetd:
Code:
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Then restart ProFTPd:
Code:
/etc/init.d/proftpd restart

I did this and still can't go to the site. I have looked at everything again and just cannot seem to find the missing link.
One thing I noticed that is different is that in FC4 the ftp directory was in /var, in SuSe10 it is in /srv. Maybe using my FC4 proftpd.conf is conflicting with this but I cannot see how since /etc/init.d/proftpd is pointing to /etc/proftpd.conf.
In SuSe the log files are not in /var/log but I guess they won't generate until I can actually get to the site and log in, is that correct?

If I am reading this right it shows it running...
I have my router set to the SuSe box which is 192.168.2.3 21:21 but the ftp site is still currently running off the FC4 box 192.168.2.5. As soon as I go into the FC4 box and run service proftpd stop and try to go to the ftp site I get "the connection refused" message. Same process I went though with www until I finally got it configured correctly.

Yes, ProFTPd is running.
Please check your router settings again. Maybe you must restart it.

I have tried that without success... however, I believe I have found the problem. In SuSe Yast, Security and Users, Firewall there is an "Allowed Services" section. The only services that appear to be allowed are HTTP and Samba. When I click the Services to Allow list to add another service proftpd (or vsftpd) are not listed, only tftp. Seems all I have to do is figure out how to add proftpd or set the firewall outside of Yast. maybe....

SuSe Reload, proftpd to vsftpd
I never could get proftpd to work and hosed SuSe YaST in the process. I did a fresh load of SuSe and decided to try vsftpd since it comes with the distro.
I had some issues which I attribute to being a newb  I have one last problem I cannot seem to figure out... I can connect via Konsole and Internet, no problem. I cannot transfer (write) to the site, problem. I think I have the conf correct but here it is, anyone see anything wrong?
Code:
# Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf
#
# The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file
# loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable.
# Please see vsftpd.conf.5 for all compiled in defaults.
#
# If you do not change anything here you will have a minimum setup for an
# anonymus FTP server.
#
# READ THIS: This example file is NOT an exhaustive list of vsftpd options.
# Please read the vsftpd.conf.5 manual page to get a full idea of vsftpd's
# capabilities.
# General Settings
#
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
#
write_enable=YES
#
# Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they
# go into a certain directory.
#
dirmessage_enable=YES
#
# It is recommended that you define on your system a unique user which the
# ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user.
#
#nopriv_user=ftpsecure
#
# You may fully customise the login banner string:
#
ftpd_banner="Welcome to The Fractal Farm FTP service."
#
# You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by
# default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large
# sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume
# the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it.
#
#ls_recurse_enable=YES
#
# You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently
# useful for combatting certain DoS attacks.
#
#deny_email_enable=YES
#
# (default follows)
#
#banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails
#
# If enabled, all user and group information in

#
# Uncomment to put local users in a chroot() jail in their home directory
# after login.
#
#chroot_local_user=YES
#
# You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home
# directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of
# users to NOT chroot().

#chroot_list_enable=YES
#
# (default follows)

#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
#

#
anonymous_enable=YES
#
# Anonymous users will only be allowed to download files which are
# world readable.
#
anon_world_readable_only=YES
#
# Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only
# has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will
# obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.
#
anon_upload_enable=YES
#
# Default umask for anonymus users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,
# if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)

# like deletion and renaming.

#async_abor_enable=YES
#
# By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore

# Beware that turning on ascii_download_enable enables malicious remote parties
# to consume your I/O resources, by issuing the command "SIZE /big/file" in
# ASCII mode.
# These ASCII options are split into upload and download because you may wish
# to enable ASCII uploads (to prevent uploaded scripts etc. from breaking),
# without the DoS risk of SIZE and ASCII downloads. ASCII mangling should be

#
#ascii_upload_enable=YES

I checked folder permissions and Groups and Users have permssions to View and Modify with only the Owner allowed to rename and delete.
Here is netstat -tap just in case...

I always get this when I restart vsftpd and did some searching but really didn't see where it was a problem but I dont have enough experience yet to say it is not the problem
Code:
server1:~ # /usr/sbin/vsftpd &
500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket
[1] 885
[1] Exit 1 /usr/sbin/vsftpd
server1:~ #
Better yet... is "&" Start or Restart, and what is Stop!?
(Up to now I have used Gnome but majority seems to think KDE is better so I went with it when I reloaded SuSe)
