Starting the proftpd server ?

[Mikaelft]

Hello. How do I start the proftpd server ?

I am more familiar with Mandrake where you can write "service proftpd start" and then it is started..

But how do I do it with YDL 6.1 ? I have installed proftpd from the software manager.

If you've installed it correctly, then "service proftpd start" is how we do it too.

YDL & Mandrake are both based on Red Hat.

Make sure you're root user, though. Normal users can't access the service command.

If you're in a GUI window, you'll need to use an su -l not a simple su for this to work.
