While I have just started working with ftp servers I want something that is easy to use. I installed vsftpd but could not connect with it. I have not put alot of time into working with it do to other projects however while reseaching I cam accross PURE-FTPD http://www.pureftpd.org/project/pure-ftpd/doc I installed it remotly using SSH still working with it might be worth trying

You can check if vsftpd is active with this command:

Code:

 ps aux | grep vsftpd

If it is, you will get output like this:

Code:

root       845  0.0  0.2   4688  1024 ?        Ss   Nov22   0:00 /usr/sbin/vsftpd
root     23455  0.0  0.1   4392   812 pts/0    S+   18:15   0:00 grep --color=auto vsftpd
