Jump to PostWhat are you trying to accomplish? The reason I am asking is that
1. in many cases there are better ways to transfer files
2. RedHat 5 is very old
Jump to PostFTP still has it's uses.
If you are going to do this, I suggest chroot-ing the users into their home directories to limit their access along with making sure the ftp logins do not match the system logins.

u must install vsftpd package first.
yum install vsftpd
service vsftpd restart
chkconfig vsftpd on
it is a default configuration of ftp.
ftp is not so secure.
