 |
|
i need some FTP server but there must be some kind of credit system like in glftpd. I am trying to avoid glftpd because it is pain to set it up.
thanks |

I use pure-ftpd. I love it. No more needs to be said.
[edit]If I remember correctly, it forces you to edit its /etc/conf.d/pure-ftpd file though...

ok i think i will go with pure-ftpd, i emerged it and edited the /etc/conf.d/pure-ftpd
then i rc-update add pure-ftpd default
but on next restart doesn't seem to be started.
since i run this server without graphic card i use only ssh to configure it makes it hard to see what is actually going on while booting.
to sum up, besides editing the file and adding new group and user in linux and adding users trough pure-pw what else do i need to run the server.
thanks
here is the pure-ftpd config file, on boot up i get this error

Hmm, it looks fine to me  ...the best advice I could give would be to remove --quiet from the start line of /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd and then run it, seeing if it barfs any more useful errors.

does the machine have a local IP (i.e. LAN), or is it connected directly to your modem? I notice you've set the passive IP manually, but you're also getting it to bind to the same IP with -S. In my config I have:
| Code: | SERVER="-S 192.168.1.201,21"
...
MISC_OTHER="-A -x -j -E -p 21000:22000 -P [my-ip-here]"
|
perhaps you could try something similar?

-S internal or external IP
-P internal or external IP ?

hmm, I'm not sure about that...I'm the only one using it, so I just login with my normal account (i.e. using the normal useradd command).

i will give more details what i want to do.
i need all virtual users view one common folder that will be their home for example /ftp and to be able to browse all subfolders.
when creating them i set the home -d /ftp and i use -A in pure-ftpd configuration to chroot them to their home.
for authentication i use -l unix
what am i doing wrong ? |
