Starting and stopping the FTP server
You must start the FTP server to let FTP clients connect to it. You must be logged in as root to start or stop the FTP server. For information about the root account, see the Corel LINUX User Guide. Once you start the FTP server, it starts every time you turn the computer on. You can leave your computer on to ensure the FTP server is always running.
If you change the values of the directives in the proftpd.conf file, you must restart the server before the changes will take effect.
To start the FTP server
1. Click Application Starter, Applications, Utilities, Console.
2. Type the following command in the Console:
/etc/init.d/proftpd start
To stop the FTP server

Note
