Step 1) check whether the server has ftp rpm installed..
if no.. then install
MySQL-shared-compat-6.0.9-0.rhel5.i386.rpm and
vsftpd-2.0.5-12.el5.i386.rpm
Step 2) create a user (say test) on the server ..
note : the home of the user shud be other than /home/test (say /u01/test_ftp)
Step 3) Give appropriate permissions to that directory.
Step 4) vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux
change the value of SELINUX=disabled
Step 5) cd /usr/sbinsetsebool -P ftp_home_dir 1 (this will set boolean permissions to the ftp home directory)
Step 6) cd /etc/vsftpdservice vsftpd start (this will start the ftp service on your service)
Step 7) Open command prompt on windows
ftp [IP address / Hostname ]
put username and password
and you are through !!
Note:: Change the settings using vsftpd.conf file..
Hurray !!
