How do I disable the internal ftp server?

 

Am attempting to get Xampp installed - (so far so good!) but the internal ftp server conflicts with the xampp ver (yes I can change xampps port - which will prob happen) - but am curious as how to

 

Thanks

Look in /etc/inetd.conf. This file needs to be edited or replaced and then inetd restarted by the go file.

Running these two commands will stop the built in ftp

sed -i -e "s/^ftp/##ftp/" /etc/inetd.conf

/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd restart

 

The first will use the stream editor command "sed" to comment out the "ftp" entry in inetd.conf by adding a "#" to the front of the line.

The second will re-start inetd and have it re-read the inetd.conf file.

 

You can put those commands at the end of your config/go script.

Thank you much guys...
