Google is giving me a lot of good ideas when I search with the following

As root try rcpure-ftpd start.

Good luck.

Though I have openSUSE 10.3 and not SLED may be this helps:

I run pure-ftp through *xinetd. *may be first have a look in /etc/xinetd.d/pure-ftp.
YaST > Network Services > Network Services (xinetd).
Then look for the ftp service in the list. It will point to /usr/bin/pure-ftp. You can change it (e.g. adding/removing options, see) and switch it on/off.

When it is not there you can add it. I have:

   On   ftp   stream   tcp   no    root   /usr/bin/pure-ftp   -4 -E

and I added some security afterwards in /etc/xinetd.d/pure-ftp (the *only-from *clause, but you most probably want more allowance then only from localhost):

service ftp
{
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd
        server_args     = -4 -E
        only_from       = localhost
        disable         = no
}

I also do not have SLES, but in openSUSE in YaST Network Services there is an FTP Server module which will automatically set up and start either pure-FTP or vsftp. If you don’t have that, look in the Novell SLES documentation; there are instructions there for running pure-FTP.
