<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Redhat decided to disable telnet and FTP by default
because they are insecure protocols. IMHO, this was a SMART move.
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>I highly suggest everyone NEVER to use either
protocol, with the exception of anonymous FTP to download files from file
archives. Redhat finally made this good decision, probably after they were
burned by the Ramen worm cracking their wuftpd in Redhat 6.x.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Redhat 7.1 contains OpenSSH v2.5.2x which has
several valid alternatives to FTP for all your file transfer needs. SSH v1
protocol supports 'scp'. Other Linux machines can easily use the client to
transfer files. Windows can use the same OpenSSH tools if you install
Cygwin <A href="http://www.cygwin.com">http://www.cygwin.com</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Though I'm guessing that you rather have friendly
GUI tools in Windows for doing file transfers. Here are several free
options.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>WinSCP - Similar interface to WS_FTP or
CuteFTP</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><A
href="http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/">http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) SCP - Works fine, but somewhat inconvenient
because you must type in the complete file name in the remote side.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) SFTP (text mode) - SFTP client, with roughly the
same commands as any text mode FTP. Not very convenient
either.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 <A
href="ftp://localhost">ftp://localhost</A> 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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>*****</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PLEASE USE SCP and/or SFTP!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But I can't force you. If you don't care
about security, use FTP.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>wuftpd requires xinetd to be running. Make
sure it is running with </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/etc/init.d/xinetd status</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and start with</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/etc/init.d/xinetd start</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To make the setting permanent within your current
runlevel, run "setup" and go into Services or something. You'll find
xinetd. Also make sure the FTP daemon is activated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Alternative you can configure settings for all
runlevels at once in linuxconf "Control Service Activity".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but again, PLEASE DO NOT USE FTP!!!</FONT></DIV>
