I tried with several ways which is given like telnet to test whether my ftp server working properly or not:

1.  

   
   
   

   rama@rama-desktop:~$ telnet 192.164.0.102 21
   
   Trying 192.168.0.102...
   
   telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
   
   rama@rama-desktop:~$ telnet 127.0.0.1 21
   
   telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
   
   




2.  

   
   
   

   ftp [email protected]
   
   ftp: [email protected]: No address associated with hostname
   
   

   
   
   

   In the above, ramaftp is the username that I have created earlier.

I am a novice in Ubuntu. Please help me to reset the ftp username and password for my machine.

I have tried:

1. sudo mkdir /srv/ftp


2. sudo usermod -d /srv/ftp ftp


3. sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart



4. Modified conf file:

   
   
   

   local_enable=YES
   
   write_enable=YES
   
   




5. restarted server with service vsftpd restart:

   
   
   

   stop: Unknown instance: 
   
   start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.72" (uid=1000 pid=3629 comm="start vsftpd ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")
   
   

This is the error that I got,
Thanks
