    the "config" might not be exact, and it's rather "open" but here is how
    I got it going.

    copy the following to attachment vsftp.conf to /etc
    copy the following attachment vsftp to /etc/xinit.d

    turn on xinit.d using control center/Yast2 modules/system/runlevel
    editor

    open up ports 21,22 in the firewall by control center/yast2
    modules/security users/firewall, key them in the advance line at the
    bottom

    create a user "ftpuser/password", check the home dir after that,

    then I'd restart suse...hope this helps
