Question
I cannot start or enable vsftpd service on Wordpress One-Click app
I cannot start or enable vsftpd service on my Wordpress One-Click app on Ubuntu 16. I tried following this guide but it does not work.
This is the output of sudo systemctl status vsftpd

Which guide did you follow? I’m not seeing a link in your post, so I want to make sure I’m on the same page when troubleshooting :-).
