Ok my boss asked me to install and setup vsftpd in Debian 8.7 but I can not start it with

service vsftpd start

But I get this error,

-bash: service: command not found

I tried to apt-get install service but I get,

E: Unable to locate package service

What is the solution?

  • `dpkg-query -S /usr/sbin/service` shows that file belongs to the `sysvinit-utils` package, not a "service" package. Perhaps install that? – thrig Apr 30 '17 at 18:26

Debian 8.0 and up uses systemd, not init. Try systemctl start vsftpd

If you want it to start at boot automatically, you'll likely want systemctl enable vsftpd
