Hi Faisal,

              First go to the system where u want to install then follow the following points :--

Server side :-

1.) first make sure u have FTP package in ur system or not for this go to the command prompt and give the command :--

                         rpm -qa vsftpd

2.) To enable the vsftpd server by typing the following line:--

                        chkconfig vsftpd on

3.) start the vsftpd server as follows :--

                      /etc/init.d/vsftpd start

Host side ;-

4.)  now ur ftp server is working . now give the command

       ftp ip_address_of_ur_ftp_server

5.) it will conncet to the ftp server . now it will ask the user and password
 
      user :- anonymous
      password :- a@bc

now u will be in th /var/ftp directory.

if u are entering as anonymous ur workin directory will be /var/ftp. so whatever u want to access from otherside via FTP u have to put on the /var/ftp.

 condition is u have to login as anonymous for this

6.) or u can do one thing..
 
    user :- give the user name of the ftp server
   password :- user password

now u will connect to the ftp server vth the directory of that user.

ok bye and reply back

ftp package will be located on the installation media....  if you are using a redhat linux, then it will be on /CDROM/RedHat/RPMS/vsftpd-1.1.3-8.i386.rpm, just double click on the file and install it

or

go to shell and type rpm -i vsftpd-1.1.3-8.i386.rpm

It will help out ....
