  • vsftpd service 20 port not running

    Posted on

    Hi All,

    I have installed vsftpd and ftp services but after starting the vsftpd service 20 port is not running, Because of that unable to transfer files.

    Below commands output for reference :

    [root@localhost ~]# systemctl status vsftpd
    ● vsftpd.service - Vsftpd ftp daemon
       Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/vsftpd.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)

    [root@localhost ~]# netstat -nap |grep -w 20
    [root@localhost ~]# netstat -nap |grep -w 21

    [root@localhost ~]# setenforce 0
    [root@localhost ~]# systemctl stop firewalld
