Hi, I want to share some files on the LAN with a windows user, so I
thought ftp would be easiest.
I downloaded vsftpd and system-config-vsftpd, so that I could set it up
in an UI.
But how do I start it?

That is commandline, I really wanted to go graphical…
I get into trouble with the guide there when I have to edit
vsftpd.conf, I can’t get the rights to edit it.
/etc/vsftpd.conf
How do I open it? I tried via terminal.

Went over to proftpd as I have used that before, however, I get the same
message there when I try to edit a file.

I know this may be a dumb question but can we confirm that X up and
running on the machine?
The reason I ask is that I’ve run into this type of message before but
usually only when either I’m at run level 3 (i.e., no X running) or when
I’m ssh’ed into another machine and forgot to pass the -X flag to ssh
when I connected. The -X tells ssh to forward X connections to my
local machine.

Never had so many issues installing a simple ftp server, this is
brainbreaking.

Trying to figure out how to chmod the /srv/ftp so I also have the
read/write access.
And also trying to figure out how to set up logs. My friend (on a LAN)
can’t connect, and I can’t see any logs.
I activated logging via the graphical administrator tool and they
should have been put in /var/log/, but they’re not present.

If you set it up as in the guide you should be able to get access:
‘vsftpd on Suse Linux pro’

I see how the access is given to user “ftpadmin” but what do I need to
edit in order for user “lasse” to get same access?

Ok the easiest way is to create a user lasse in a console as su:
USERADD -R LASSE THEN
**PASSWD LASSE
Now go to kicker > applications > system > file manager > file manager
