    I've installed VSFTPD on my VPS running Ubuntu server 10.04. When connecting using FTP clients such as Filezilla it's working perfectly. However when I use my Drupal's native FTP client to update the modules and the core installation my "working" login credentials are not working.

    So after searching the internet, there are some configurations that should be changed on "vsftpd.conf" which I followed and those instructions say that I should restart my VSFTPD.

    So after trying these commands

    sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
    service vsftpd restart
    

    Both results to *respectively

    sudo: /etc/init.d/vsftpd: command not found
    service vsftpd restart
    

    Then there's another weird thing that went out when trying to find out the problem my self

    When I type

    ls -l /etc/init.d

    It results to

    .
    .
    .
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    21 Oct  2 06:29 vsftpd -> /lib/init/upstart-job
    

    What could be wrong?

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in Advance!
