Urgent: I have messed up FTP in Ubuntu VM
by marcello.ligi from LinuxQuestions.org on (#577NG)
I was trying to fix some issue with FTP on my Ubuntu Linux, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but I might have mess it up! I have done the following commands:
Uninstall ftp
To remove just ftp package itself from Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) execute on terminal:
sudo apt-get remove ftp
sudo apt-get autoremove ftp
sudo apt-get purge ftp
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge ftp
I have tried to reinstall it but now when I try FTP localhost it says: Connection refused
I have reinstalled also vsftpd following the guidelines but nothing.
I am not a Linux user and now I'm totally lost.
