I have to agree 100% with Warren on this. DO NOT USE UNSECURE PROTOCOLS!!!!!!! SSH, SCP, and SFTP are free and as easy to use as telnet, ftp, and rcp, but they are secure!!!!!!!!!!

Redhat decided to disable telnet and FTP by default

Redhat 7.1 contains OpenSSH v2.5.2x which has

Though I'm guessing that you rather have friendly

> options.
Mindterm - Java SSH client with built in SCP and
> SFTP, a more friendly file transfer protocol introduced in SSH v2. Because
> Mindterm is written in Java, it runs fine on many Windows, MacOS, Linux, and
> Solaris JVM's. The latest version of Mindterm has the following options
> for file transfers.
>
>
1) SCP - Works fine, but somewhat inconvenient
> because you must type in the complete file name in the remote side.
>
2) SFTP (text mode) - SFTP client, with roughly the
> same commands as any text mode FTP. Not very convenient
> either.
>
3) FTP to SFTP bridge - Now this is awesome.
> Simply connect to the remote machine via SSH, then activate the FTP to SFTP
> bridge. You can then connect to href="ftp://localhost">ftp://localhost with your favorite FTP client
> and transfer files just as you would normally. The current version of
> Mindterm has slight bugs in this bridge, but they should be fixed by the next
> release.
>
4) FTP to FTP via SSH tunnel. This is a bit
> more complex. You run the normal FTP daemon on the Redhat machine, except
> use iptables to disallow connections from anywhere except 127.0.0.1
> (itself). You then configure a FTP tunnel in Mindterm and connect to
> yourself in the same fashion as method 3 with any FTP client. All traffic
> is routed through the SSH tunnel in a secure fashion.

PLEASE USE SCP and/or SFTP!!!

But I can't force you. If you don't care

wuftpd requires xinetd to be running. Make

/etc/init.d/xinetd status

and start with

/etc/init.d/xinetd start

To make the setting permanent within your current

> xinetd. Also make sure the FTP daemon is activated.

Alternative you can configure settings for all
> runlevels at once in linuxconf "Control Service Activity".
