Now I want to find out for my Ubuntu 14.04 (VirtualBox VM), whether an / which FTP server is installed on it.

How to get the information about the installed FTP Server?

telnet myip 21

If the connection succeeds you have probably a ftp server listening, which will give you a welcome message which usually contains the version. Also, netstat -nplt helps to see, what listing sockets you have, something listening on port 21 is usually a FTP server.

  • Thank you for your answer! Both solutions have worked. netstat -nplt: I got a list without any entry with ftp or port 21. After I have installed vsftpd, the entry tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9428/vsftpd appears on the list. telnet MYIP 21 is starting a new FTP connection: Trying MYIP... Connected to MYIP. Escape character is '^]'. 220 (vsFTPd 2.3.5)
