I'm on Ubuntu 15.04 and I just installed vsftpd
.
When I run the command service vsftpd status
, I get the following output:
vsftpd.service - vsftpd FTP server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/vsftpd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

I checked /etc/vsftpd.conf
, it exists and I did not find anything wrong in it. How can I solve this?
