I have enabled the SSHD permanently as described on Martins site .

Im now at the point of trying to download the ftp server .

wget ftp://ftp.penguin.cz/pub/users/mhi/mybook/vsftpd.tar.gz -q -O - | tar xzvf - -C /

gets me the following message

wget: fgets(): Success

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
Child returned status 1
Error exit delayed from previous errors

Go easy as I know next to nothing about unix or linux commands lol .

Hi.

I manage to install (here I mean no errors like yours during wget) it but when I try to ftp to my book it just says "connection closed by remote host".

Did I forgot to do something? Any help would be greatly appliciated.

Best regards,

Same here. Guess I'll need some additional n00b instructions.

I started out with the basic instruction mentioned at Martin Hinners alternative packages page

And thus installed that package with the following command:

wget ftp://ftp.penguin.cz/pub/users/mhi/mybook/PKG.tar.gz -q -O - | tar xzvf - -C /

I seem to be able to use ftp internally (using the sftp command), but I don't know whether that is standard behaviour of Unix, or that the ftp server is local only.

Al also added the following line to /etc/inetd.conf:

ftp stream tcp nowait root /opt/bin/vsftpd /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf

Do I maybe have to start the process in /etc/inittab ?

Any ideas or other config files I need to alter?

I am a total lamen on this platform, and I have been warned so many times not to 'brick' my MyBook, so I try to be a bit careful.
