I have an embedded system which has busybox support. I am trying to run an FTP server so I can edit the files and upload data to my embedded system. However when I run

busybox ftpd -w /

It tells me I need to use the inetd and put it in the conf. But I dont want to do this for a number of reasons. When I try tcpvd as given in the busybox link page I get command not defined. Any suggestions?

Did you try this command:

tcpsvd -vE 0.0.0.0 21 ftpd /

/ # busybox ftpd -w /                                                           
BusyBox v1.20.0 (2012-04-22 12:29:58 CEST) multi-call binary.                   

Usage: ftpd [-wvS] [-t N] [-T N] [DIR]                                          

Anonymous FTP server

ftpd should be used as an inetd service. ftpd's line for inetd.conf:

    21 stream tcp nowait root ftpd ftpd /files/to/serve

It also can be ran from tcpsvd:

    tcpsvd -vE 0.0.0.0 21 ftpd /files/to/serve                              

    -w      Allow upload                                                    
    -v      Log errors to stderr. -vv: verbose log                          
    -S      Log errors to syslog. -SS: verbose log                          
    -t,-T   Idle and absolute timeouts                                      
    DIR     Change root to this directory                                   

/ # tcpsvd -vE 0.0.0.0 21 ftpd /                                                
tcpsvd: listening on 0.0.0.0:21, starting
