•   To set up ftp server

# yum list vsftpd

# yum install vsftpd

•   To start FTP server

                   # service vsftpd start

wget –r ftp://user:passwd@domain

mget  -i *

To change the greeting banner for vsftpd, add the following directive to the /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file:

         ftpd_banner=<insert_greeting_here>

Replace <insert_greeting_here> in the above directive with the text of the greeting message.

For mutli-line banners, it is best to use a banner file. To simplify management of multiple banners, place all banners in a new directory called /etc/banners/. The banner file for FTP connections in this example is /etc/banners/ftp.msg.

         banner_file=/etc/banners/ftp.msg 

• As an FTP user if you are not be able to list your home directory, check /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config and add the following:

IPTABLES_MODULES=”  …..  …..  ip_conntrack_ftp”
