ftp questions....

[Alexey Fadyushin]

Look at the output of a command 'netstat -ltp | grep :ftp'. It will show 
the name of a proccess listening on ftp port. If your FTP server is 
running as a standalone server (i.e. accepts incoming connections 
itself) it will show the FTP daemon's name (e.g. vsftpd). If your FTP 
server is started from xinetd on each request, the output of this 
command will show that 'xinetd' is listening on ftp port. In this case 
yopu should look at the xinetd.d configuration (/etc/xinetd.conf and 
files in /etc/xinetd.d) and find in those files the name of a program 
which is responsible for service 'ftp' (it is 'server' oprtion 
inxinetd.configuration). The program shown in 'server' option in xinetd 
configuration for service ftp will be the ftp server daemon program 
(e.g. /usr/sbin/vsftpd).
