Hi, I have an 60 Gb Hard drive under NTFS (/dev/hda1) that I want to be available by FTP (readonly) for my users...

how can I make that ?

i could be wrong but any NTFS partition under linux is read-only. there are very restrictions in the NTFS write procedure. you can't create new files and you can't change the size of the files that already exists. so just point your ftpd to the ntfs partition that your users won't write into it...

actually no one will :wink:

or change your fstab and set "ro" in the options field... As mentioned, you don't have to when you use NTFS

Unless you enabled "NTFS write support (EXPERMENTAL)" in your kernel config. If you did, mount it ro !!! Otherwise people will be able to fuck up your harddrive simply by putting files on there

edit /etc/proftpd.conf, or use webmin to configure the server
