Hi saumya043,
Normally the /etc/vsftpd.conf file is included in the package vsftpd and is installed by default. The permission should be set as user= root, group = root and the permissions of 644.
Which distribution are you using?
Please confirm if the file /etc/vsftpd.conf exists.1 -
yes /etc/vsftpd file exists . i am using ubuntu on vmware fusion .

i tried to change permission ....but still not working

I see two things:
First there is a minor typo for the service location it lives in the "sbin" directory so the commad is "/sbin/vsftpd" and second, the # in commands in our book mean "run as root" vs $ "run as regular user"
so try this:sudo /sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd.conf

This is the server for ftp. We can run the background so it does not take up your terminal. Add an "&" after the command to run it in background.
Test the server with your favourite ftp client. The "ftp" client program is available in the "ftp" package.

Hello,
When you start the service with only:
# /usr/sbin/vsftpd
The daemon is spawned and the service is running - you can verify with:
# ps aux | grep vsftpor with telnet:
# telnet localhost 21
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 (vsFTPd 3.0.2)or by connecting to the service:
# ftp localhost
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost (::1).
220 (vsFTPd 3.0.2)
Name (localhost:root):The /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf argument (/usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf), can be omitted when starting the service (it is read by default).
Enjoy your Linux experience!
