CentOS install proftpd with yum

  • 772

Server: CentOS 6.2 64bit

How can I install Proftpd using yum? A search for the package doesn't find it:

yum list proftpd

Error: No matching Packages to list

Although my CentOS 6 VPS does find it, but this server doesn't. I have read I need to install an rpm of some kind. How would I do that and where is the reliable place to get it (64bit)?

I have done Proftpd installs by compiling the source in the past but would prefer to use yum this time.

centos ftp yum centos6 centos6.2

    You have to install it via EPEL

    http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/proftpd.html

    You can grab the single RPM or install the EPEL repo as follows

    rpm -ivh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
yum update
yum install proftpd

  2. yum list available proftpd

    if you cannot find it, then your repo does not have it.
