FTP server advice

[Zero_Divide]

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.

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

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 tried installing vsftp but i keep getting this message in my /var/messages

Oct 3 22:58:21 aaargh xinetd[13697]: socket creation failed (Address family not supported by protocol (errno = 97)). service = ftp
Oct 3 22:58:21 aaargh xinetd[13697]: xinetd Version 2.3.12 started with libwrap loadavg options compiled in.
Oct 3 22:58:21 aaargh xinetd[13697]: Started working: 1 available service

any ideas?

I like pure-ftp. It was really easy and it's pretty secure.

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

You should try proftpd with gproftpd fontend, very easy to set-up....
