When I used sudo /usr/sbin/vsftpd, it gave
500 OOPS: unrecognised variable in config file: allow_ftpd_full_access. Once I commented that line, vsftpd started.
first remove the vsftpd packages using these commands.
1 : sudo apt-get remove vsftpd 2 : sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove vsftpd 3 : sudo apt-get purge vsftpd 4 : sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove vsftpd
After This Process Succesfully done.now you can install it again using this command
sudo apt update sudo apt-get install vsftpd service vsftpd status
