This is basically my first post on serverfault, although I do watch Stackoverflow multiple times. I've recently purchased a VPS and started to configure it.

Since most of my working are design related, I wish to use FTP as many times as possible.

I've installed pure-ftpd, remove it after an issue where I couldn't logon with a new username created. I've installed vsftpd, couldn't get it to have a username, remove that.

But, it seems that pure-ftpd is still running.

Some commands reports that may be helpful:

tcp        0      0 *:ssh                       *:*                         LISTEN      12078/sshd      


[root@vs home]# which pure-ftpd
/usr/bin/which: no pure-ftpd in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

Basically, I wish to either fully remove it as I'm trying to keep my CentOS running without packages that I don't need. Or make it run, but make it run with a virtual user that I need with chroot access to /home directory.

  • Oh, I've used ./configure && make install-strip to install it and then ./configure uninstall to remove it from the directory I've installed it. – Max Mar 02 '11 at 11:59

Looks like the process is still running. Try killing it:

kill 11359

or

pkill pure-ftpd

  • It did the trick. I suppose ftp will be disabled for good now. Thank you @ Cakemox – Max Mar 02 '11 at 12:58
