[newbie] How to install FTP server on Redhat 9 small?
I need to install some software on the server and I suppose FTP is the way to go. I only found vsftpd on the server, but i cannot start it from the command line. I cannot install other FTP servers if I cannot upload them to my linode. What I should do?
Thanks!

If you are using Linux locally, you can type "sftp root@yourhost" to start an sftp session – just like starting ssh, except the binary is sftp.
If you use Windows, a decent SSH + SFTP client can be downloaded for free from www.ssh.com

Both are free for any use and they work well together.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/vsftpd start
