Posted: Sun Oct 03, 2004 12:47 pm Post subject: FTP server advice |
|
|
I want to be able to upload files to my webserver using a FTP server.
what i need:
2 users to be able to upload delete stuff in the webserver folder.
which ftpserver should be good for me?.. i heared about glftpd but that one seems too complicated since it has a million of features i wont use. _________________ "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo VP, 1989 |

I use vsftp on my network fileserver. It's not the most secure solution; but it's easy to work with OTB, just useradd two users which you plan on using, emerge vsftp, and edit the config (/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf). For sharing purposes you can create a group called 'trustedusers', add the two users to that group, and create a the 'webserver' folder with read / write to the trustedusers group.
Good luck |

vsftpd should be fine.
Just be sure to keep anonymous access disabled, of course
servo888, why you think it's not a secure server ? I know of only one vulnerability so far: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10394
it's a DoS and was fixed on version 1.2.2 _________________ In God we trust. All the others must provide a valid X.509 certificate |

vsftpd is very secure, not that this is any measurement but kernel.org uses it . I use ncftpd, basically because I'm lazy to figure out the config I want for vsftpd. It may cost money but miracles have happened (pm for more info) it's very easy to setup and it has great docs. |

I like pure-ftp. It was really easy and it's pretty secure. _________________ --You talk the talk, but do you waddle the waddle?

One for proftpd, VERY flexible. But for your purposes vsftpd is probably the best.
