How do I restart vsftpd?

Question

I am using Lubuntu.

I have installed vsftpd using

sudo apt-get install vsftpd

That ran all ok. However when I try to retstart the service with the following it cannot find it:

sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

How do I restart the service? I believe this command would work on ubuntu but not Lubuntu. I am following this installation guide.

Solution

You need to use the service command, like so:

sudo service vsftpd restart

The guide you're following is from 2007. Since then, the way of interacting with services has changed.
