I have just reinstalled RedHat 7.3 and it's textmode only. Therefore I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to config the FTP daemon because I have no idea. Also I've looked over a bunch of web sites (including redhat.com) but they all refer to Gnome or KDE. Needless to say, this doesn't help me very much.
The FTP daemon that comes with Redhat 7.3 is wu-ftpd which has had problems in the past with security. There have been multiple buffer overflows and other vulnerabilities found in the source. I'd like to shamelessly plug proftpd, which was specifically designed with security in mind. It's also very easy to configure. The config file is based on the apache httpd configuration file so it's easy to figure out. Check out the website
