[root@localhost ~]# mount /dev/cdrom/ /mnt (Use for Physical Machine)

or

[root@localhost ~]# ll /run/media/root/RHEL-8-3-0-BaseOS-x86_64/ 

(Use for Virtual Machine)

Step-2) Verify the "vsftpd" service status in RHEL 8 machine.

[root@localhost ~]# service vsftpd status

Step-3) Run "vsftpd" service in RHEL 8 machine. 

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh /run/media/root/RHEL-8-3-0-BaseOS-x86_64/AppStream/Packages/vsftpd-3.0.3-32.el8.x86_64.rpm 

or

[root@localhost ~]# cd /run/media/root/

[root@localhost root]# rpm -ivh RHEL-8-3-0-BaseOS-x86_64/AppStream/Packages/vsftpd-3.0.3-32.el8.x86_64.rpm 

or

[root@localhost ~]# cd /run/media/root/RHEL-8-3-0-BaseOS-x86_64/AppStream/Packages/

[root@localhost Package]# rpm -ivh vsftpd-3.0.3-32.el8.x86_64.rpm 

Step-4) Again check the status of "vsftpd".

[root@localhost ~]# service vsftpd status

Step-8) Now, copy the all content of RHEL 8 ISO or DVD into abhishek directory.

[root@localhost ~]# cp -rvf /run/media/root/RHEL-8-3-0-BaseOS-x86_64/* /var/ftp/pub/abhishek

Step-9) Now,Create a repo file for YUM server

[root@localhost ~]# vim /etc/yum.repos.d/server.repo

Type this content in server.repo file

[base]

name=RHEL8Base

baseurl=file:///var/ftp/pub/abhishek/BaseOS

enabled=1

gpgcheck=0

[apps]

name=RHEL8Apps

baseurl=file:///var/ftp/pub/abhishek/AppStream

enabled=1

gpgcheck=0

Note:- Press "i" to move in insert mode.
