Solution 1

To install using YUM Your RHEL should Register with RHN or You can setup Local Yum repository for the same.

If you are installing from the CD-ROM:

mount the CD-ROM: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/
change to the RPMS directory in the CD-ROM: cd /mnt/RedHat/RPMS
if you know the name of the package type ls packagename* (e.g. ls *vsftp*) to find the full package name
if you don't then type ls and look for it. I rather suggest you read the packages list and find its name there and do as in item 3 above.
type rpm -ivh filename.rpm to install a new package.

Solution 2

If you haven't registered your RHEL install to be able to use RedHat's repositories, you can download the rpm from an online repo and use:

yum localinstall filename.rpm

I prefer this to rpm -ivh because if you end up with a repo in the future, yum will already be aware of your package (vsftp in this case) and be able to update it if necessary withouy complaining that the yum database was modified outside of yum. FYI

  RHEL required RHN register to use yum.. so you have to set up local yum or download rpm packages and install it manually.

  You can always get the CentOS vsftpd RPMs and install them too.

  You can actually just mount the DVD and install the RPM's from there. You run into RPM hell though so you're better off setting up the DVD as a repo like Rahul suggested. Here's a tutorial for it that I found online: tharindu.info/2011/05/06/…

  Ultimately, though, I'd look into whether you really want to use RHEL or if CentOS is the better fit. If you're dealing with an existing system I guess that's one thing, but if this is a new install, I'd seriously recommend reinstalling with CentOS. RHEL is almost pointless without a subscription, all you get is the ability to install an OS. If software QA is that important to you and that's why you're using RHEL instead, then you need to buy a subscription so you get bugfixes/can submit feature requests. If it's not then CentOS should serve you at the level you need it to.
