How do I set up the vsftpd daemon to accept connections from another computer?
Resolution:
The configuration of the vsftp daemon simply requires two steps:
  1. configure /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
    Add the following line to the vsftpd configuration file: 
    local_enable=YES
  2. start the vsftp server with the following command: 
    service vsftpd start
At this point you should be able to FTP to this server with any account that exists on the system except for root. There are a large number of other configuration parameters for vsftpd that can be used to fine tune the servers behavior. For details on these settings, consult the vsftpd.conf man page by typing man vsftpd.conf from the command line.
