Install the FTP Server on your leeware and you can download with more speed through FDM.
- Open PuTTy and connect
- Type in PuTTy "yum -y install vsftpd" (everything without the " )
- Then type "/ect/init.d/vsftpd start"
- Now you can reach the FTP Server at "ftp://vps111.leeware.com/"
- Install FDM (free download manager)
- The rest you will understand yourself..

I have postet this many times on the forum

ok, thanks very much.
BTW, you wrote up there "ect" instead of "eTC"
took me a few minutes but i manage to realize it, anyway ok i connect and there
is an empty folder called PUB, and thats it, cant get anywhere else.
so i do i get things in there?
and... how do i password protect my FTP access?
thanks.

You're logging in anonymously. Get a ftp client like Filezilla to login using your username and password, or put this into the address in Internet Explorer: ftp://username:password@vps***.leeware.com/

Then, you should be able to see your home directory which I'm assuming is /root/.
To turn off anonymous login, type in putty:
vim /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf (edit the vsftpd config file)
and change anonymous_enable=YES to NO

EDIT: forgot, you then have to restart vsftpd, type: /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

hmm, still doesnt work, it says that it starts it OK.
but when i try to connect with my user and pass it tells me:
530 premission denied, or from some program it tells me "extender error"
though the regular anonymous login still works (i didnt turn it off cuz it didnt work)
thanks

Sorry, I forgot vsftpd by default won't allow root to login, hence the permission denied. It's not very safe to login as root, but here is how:

vim /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers
remove 'root' from the file, save and quit
vim /etc/vsftpd/user_list
remove 'root' from the file, save and quit

then restart vsftpd: /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

on fedora.. if you just wanna make the service starting a little easier.. you can use

service vsftpd stop
service vsftpd start
service vsftpd restart

or anything like that

I had a problem with my box setting up vsftpd, when i wanted to forbid anonymous access, the server wasn't starting up at all

i used : "/sbin/service vsftpd start" instead of "/ect/init.d/vsftpd start"
and everything is fine with that, no idea why

maybe it will help someone so i post it

[naq]

it's /etc, not /ect.

To have vsftpd autostart when your leeware is restarted:

chkconfig --add vsftpd
chkconfig --level 345 vsftpd on

thanks.
since its not wise to login as root, if i create a user and logon as that user would it be any safer?

[naq]

Yes, it is safer to create a new user to use. With a user, you can still execute most root commands as well if you configure and use 'sudo', type 'man sudo' to learn more...
