\"Linux\"With Ubuntu versions prior to 12.04 there was an inetd<\/em> daemon running and available to be used for triggering the FTP service. Since version 12.04 inetd<\/em> package is deprecated and is replaced by xinetd<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Installation of ProFTPD in older Ubuntu version was simple – just running command to install the ProFTPD<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get install proftpd<\/pre>\n
and modifying the \/etc\/inetd.conf with line<\/p>\n
ftp  stream  tcp  nowait  root  \/usr\/sbin\/tcpd  \/usr\/sbin\/proftpd<\/code><\/pre>\n
restarting the inetd service<\/p>\n
sudo service inetd restart<\/pre>\n
and you were done.<\/p>\n
In Ubuntu 12.04 the inetd <\/em>package\u00a0was removed as deprecated and was replaced by an upgraded version called xinetd. <\/em>Developers of xinetd <\/em>kept support of \/etc\/inetd.conf <\/em>file but the correct\/new approach of defining services to be maintained by the xinetd<\/em>\u00a0daemon is to create separate\u00a0file for each service in \/etc\/xinetd.d <\/em>folder.\u00a0<\/em>In case of FTP service it will be \/etc\/xinetd.d\/ftp <\/em>with the following contents (Note:<\/em> the curly brackets must\u00a0be on separate lines)<\/p>\n
service ftp\r\n{\r\n  disable     = no\r\n  flags       = REUSE\r\n  socket_type = stream\r\n  wait        = no\r\n  user        = root\r\n  server      = \/etc\/sbin\/proftpd\r\n  server_args = -c \/etc\/proftpd\/proftpd.conf\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
Where<\/p>\n
    \n
  • socket type<\/strong>
    \nSets the network socket type to stream<\/em><\/li>\n
  • protocol
    \n<\/strong>Sets the protocol to TCP<\/li>\n
  • wait
    \n<\/strong>This option accepts yes<\/em> or no<\/em> values only. It defines the service to be multi-threaded (wait = no<\/em>) or single-threaded (wait = yes<\/em>)<\/li>\n
  • user
    \n<\/strong>User who runs the service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    To reload the configuration of xinetd call the following command and you should be up and running<\/p>\n
    sudo service xinetd restart<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
