vsftpd ftp problem

["William L. Thomson Jr." <support obsidian-studios com>]

For some reason when I attempt to use vsftpd for regular ftp transfers I
cannot. I can use sftp and that works fine, however I do not get any
directory messages, or anything that I see with many other ftp servers?

I am not sure if it's my config, me or both. I am using the vsftpd rpm
that comes with RH 9.

I tried the default config, and one of the examples from the vsftpd
source/docs.

Here is my current config

# Access rights
anonymous_enable=YES
local_enable=NO
write_enable=NO
anon_upload_enable=NO
anon_mkdir_write_enable=NO
anon_other_write_enable=NO
# Security
anon_world_readable_only=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
hide_ids=YES
pasv_min_port=50000
pasv_max_port=60000
# Features
xferlog_enable=YES
ls_recurse_enable=NO
ascii_download_enable=NO
async_abor_enable=YES
# Performance
one_process_model=YES
idle_session_timeout=120
data_connection_timeout=300
accept_timeout=60
connect_timeout=60
anon_max_rate=50000


I am enabling/running vsftpd via xinetd if that is the correct way, or
one way?

service ftp {
        disable = no
        socket_type = stream
        wait = no
        user = root
        server = /usr/sbin/vsftpd
        per_source = 5
        instances = 200
        log_on_success += PID HOST DURATION
        log_on_failuer += HOST
}


Please if someone could help me that would be great. I have searched
Google and docs. All I see is others doing what I can't? Why?

I really do not want to go back to wuftpd, but I do need standard ftp
access along with sftp access.

>From my memory when doing a network install/upgrade of RH, you can't use
sftp right? Or can you now?

I could check myself to confirm, but at that point I would like to be
able to proceed with the install/upgrade using either sftp or ftp.

Thanks.
