I installed it. IN su Dolphin "\usr\sbin\vsftpd" ran it (as downloaded) on the LEAP 15.6 Machine. In another room on the Tumbleweed Machine I fired up "Filezilla" entered the host,user,PW,21 and WOW! there it was -> directories available on both machines. Ctrl-c stops "vsftpd" when I would be done "sharing" files between both machines. So, for me: dump "pure-ftpd" and stick with "vsftpd" I will look into the /etc config stuff for fine-tuning. Thanks Again!
