Want to set up FTP ?

English Network/Internet
1

Hi.

I have looked at this page to get FTP set up here, to be able to copy files to my server on the LAN.

openSUSE 12.3: Chapter 21. Setting up an FTP server with YaST

vsftpd is installed and running.

From the mentioned page I see this.

Open YaST Control Center and choose Network    Services+FTP Server or run    the **yast2 ftp-server** command as root.

I cannot see Services+FTP

yast2 ftp-server gives this.

yast2 ftp-serverNo such client module ftp-server
The search path follows. It does not include the current directory.
  /y2update/clients
  /root/.yast2/clients
  /usr/share/YaST2/clients


Run 'yast2 -h' for help on usage

vsftpd gives this.

I cannot find where to get the FTP Start-Up window.

SUSE Paste

How do I get further on ?

You need to install the package “yast2-ftp-server”.

vsftpd gives this.

rcvsftpd statusChecking for service vsftpd                                                                   unused

vsftpd is not running.
You may be able to find out why by entering:

journalctl -b

But I guess that it just needs to be configured first…

So install it first. Not every YaST module is installed by default.
