Please know I am no sysadmin.
Yesterday I re-installed UBUNTU 12.04 LTS - running 3.2.0-33-generic-pae.
I have worked for hours trying to install vsftpd to no avail, and now find myself trying to configure sftp via the sshd, if that makes sense.
ps -ef |grep ssh
00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session --session=ubuntu
NOTICE THE SIZE of my sshd_config
ls -la /etc/ssh/

when I sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart it starts the ssh, but why not the sshd?
Thank You, David
