Hi, I have a VPS running DNS-only, can I add FTP functionality on this DNS-only server? How? My purpose is to use WHM Backup Features on my main WHM/cPanel server and FTP'd the files to my DNS-only server.

  Hello :) FTP functionality is not integrated into cPanel DNS-Only by default. However, you are welcome to install a system package such as PureFTP through YUM and configure it manually. Searching for "YUM Pure-ftpd" on Google yields several tutorials on this that should be of help to you. Thank you.

  I cannot install Pure-FTPD. I get this error: No package pure-ftpd available. Is there something I need to edit. I only installed Cpanel DNS-only on this server.

  Yes, you have to ensure there is a repository installed that includes the package. Searching for "YUM Pure-ftpd" on Google shows a few tutorials on how to complete this. Thank you.

  Okay, I solved my issue. /etc/yum.conf has excludes mysql* pure-fptd* pro-ftpd* etc so I deleted those files and pure-ftpd is now installed and running.

  Do you mean you removed all excludes in /etc/yum.conf ? You shouldn't.
