How to prevent any public ftp

[rtcary]

When I type in ftp.my_domain, I am taken to /var/ftp/pub. I would like to have it so that url does not work at all.

I am use vsftp, AND I know just enough Linux to get into trouble .

With appreciation...

You can disable it by firewall for outside server clients, by DNS to disable sub domain entry, and by services to disable ftp services.

Simply disable services :

# service vsftpd stop

check service level on

# chkconfig --list vsftp

and disable it by

chkconfig --level 3 vsftp off <- depend of: chkconfig --list vsftp
