How can i can show files starting with a "." ? Surprisingly easy method: LsDefaultOptions "-a"
Many of the directives which are valid in the VirtualHost context are also valid in the <Global> context. Proftpd will take the <Global> values as the default but will allow them to be overridden on a <VirtualHost> by <VirtualHost> basis
Why I get "Can't build data connection : Connection refused" error when I send the list or dir commands to proftpd from Windows Command prompt? normally down to firewalls and pasv/acttive connections > Does someone knows how to set up proftpd as a passive ftp server? I'm having trouble +with proftp behind a firewall, upload speeds are very low. > Could the problem be that it's running active instead of passive?? It is not the job of the server to configure this. It is the client's job. Set your FTP client to use PASV.
History: I need FTP server on my Linux machine. Reading about it on many Linux sites i found recommedations that proftpd is more secure than wuftpd, that configuration is easier etc etc. OK, let's listen to more expireanced linux admins and install proftpd. I found site (good one), read all i could and decided that's the one, let's install it.
1. No installation instructions. OK, never mind, it must be peace of cake on RH6.1 with RPM's. Let's find them. ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/pub/proftpd/RPMS/
2. There are 2 directories on above address: i386 and i686. OK, i386 must be the one for my poor Pentium 133, the other one must be for PII machines. Let's use i386 one.
3. 6 files in i386 directory, ...core... ...inetd... and ...standalone... for versions 9 and 10 OK, I want standalone version 10 so I definatelly need that small 4,21 file ... and I presume that core file for version 10 is needed as well ...
Too many maybe's. I am not far from giving up (wuftpd). Was it SO hard to write few sentences describing installation issues for this case scenario??????
Also, there is no mailing list archive, so I am posting this question after reading faq and user guide.
Please could someone decribe me installation procedure for RH6.1 (RMP) v10 (reply to this message via e-mail)? You need the main package: proftpd-core-1.2.0pre10-1.i386.rpm Plus you need *either* the -inetd or -standalone package, depending upon whether you want to start proftpd through inetd or have it run as a standalone daemon.
Jim P.S. I encountered a problem with 1.2.0pre10 not recognizing secondary group permissions, but skimming through the mailing list archives uncovered a patch from MacGuyver that fixed it. http://www.proftpd.org/proftpd-l-archive/00-01/msg00371.html I included the patch in a revised RPM if you are interested in trying it. http://hammer.prohosting.com/~onjapan/rpms/ | 1.

All that said, I'm sure there is room for improvement.
