Hi i want to install VSFTPD on my CentOS 7 server but it could not find the package and says "No package vsftpd available". Do i need to add another repo or do you know how to figure out this problem? Thanks in advance.

  • No special repos required. It's enough to: `yum update` `yum install vsftpd` You may want to update cache with: `yum makecache` – Hardoman Dec 27 '21 at 14:05
  • @Hardoman hi, thanks for your message. I already updated the cache and yum bu no lucks. Looks like a strange problem. I could not find related topics on forums and sites either. Maybe its time to say goodbye to CentOS. – Abdullah Taşcı Dec 27 '21 at 14:50
  • i am unfamiliar with the repo system of redhead based systems, but on debian you need a sub repository (main is always there, but cobtrib and non-free not) remind that makecwche might solve the problem – djdomi Dec 27 '21 at 18:15

After running yum update to make sure your system is up to date, yum install vsftpd should work and install VSFTPD.

To be on the safe side, I ran repoquery and verified this package came from the following repository (configured under /etc/yum.repos.d/):

[updates]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=updates&infra=$infra
#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7
