ftp server how, redhat 7.3
Acutally with 7.2 and again with 7.3 the local ftp server deamon did not install and I had no local ftp server on my redhat 7.3 systems. With rsh, rlogin... etc working it's not a big deal as rcp will work. But I decided to figure why I could not ftp.

First the deamon package needed to be installed is. wu-ftpd-2.6.2-5 To determine if it is installed.
rpm -qa |grep ftp gets a list of all installed ftp packages
also one can look for /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd

if wu-ftpd is not installed get rpm wu-ftpd-2.6.2-5.i386.rpm
rpm -U wu-ftpd-2.6.2-5.i386.rpm
this also creates /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd
contents of
# default: on
# description: The wu-ftpd FTP server serves FTP connections. It uses # normal, unencrypted usernames and passwords for authentication.
service ftp
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
server_args = -l -a
log_on_success += DURATION
nice = 10
disable = no
}
NOTE: last line should be edited to
disable = no
after that serviceconf can be run as root and xinetd can be restarted.

The clue to this solution was found after much google searching and then I looked at redhat in the listman.redhat.com
