Reinstall Telnet Service Modules on FC 2.0???

[jxcheng]

I installed Fedora Core 2.0 successfully on my computer. However, I did not select Telnet and FTP services during the installation. How do I reinstall those service modules?

Thank you,
Jim

You can always use yum

yum install telnet telnet-server vsftpd

or which ever telnet and ftp server you like. You should also read that entire site.

The default ftp server and ftp server that come with the FC 2.0 installation CD woud be fine for me.

Thank you.

Correct me if I am wrong. Isn't the default telnet and ftp servers insecure for use?

You are absolutely right. I should jxchecg what he wanted with telnet. The alternative to replacment for telnet is ssh and sshd (the server).

yum install openssh-server openssh-askpass openssh-askpass-gnome openssh openssh-clients

The only disadvantage ssh has is that windows doesn't have it installed by default, but one can easily install it.

The vsftd I mention above is the default and is secure. It uses the sftp protocol which is similar to https.

For anyone interested, http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty - extremely flexible, configurable, and remembers session settings as well. About the only thing you cannot do is "X," since there's no X server on the Windows box (by default).

i would really suggest you to use SSH instead of telnet, very unsecure.
