Hi, there: I tried to setup proftpd.conf with allowFilter in the proftpd.conf #====== ServerName mumble ServerType inetd DeferWelcome on Umask 002 User proftpd Group proftpd TransferLog /var/log/proftpd/xferlog.log DefaultRoot ~ users,!staff TimeoutLogin 120 TimeoutIdle 600 TimeoutNoTransfer 900 TimeoutStalled 3600 ScoreboardFile /var/run/proftpd LogFormat default "%h %l %u %t\"%r\" %s %b" LogFormat auth "%v[%P] %h %t \"%r\" %s" LogFormat write "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b" UseReverseDNS off AllowFilter ".*/[a-zA-Z0-9 ]+$" #========== When I tried to login at username after I hit enter, I got "Forbidden command argument". I am using 1.2.0pre9. Any ideas, After I marked AllowFilter out, everything is fine. I tried to use Allowfilter too but couldn't get it to work no matter what I tried. I ended up adding a denyfilter "%" instead. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "michael liu" <mliu@rmsys.net> Reply-To: proftpd@proftpd.org To: "Proftpd@Proftpd.

I am using 1.2.0pre9. Any ideas, After I marked AllowFilter out, everything is fine. Anyone know a good string for AllowFilter? I tried the one in the docs on www.proftpd.org but then every command is invalid. i'm using 1.2.0pre8 on redhat 6.1. i have sucessfully used the PathDenyFilter in the <Global> section with the example: PathDenyFilter "(\.ftpaccess)|(\.htaccess)$" now i am trying to limit commands with DenyFilter. i admit to not understanding regular expressions, but using the above as a sort of guide, i am still baffled. i've tried the following variations without success: DenyFilter "proxy" DenyFilter proxy DenyFilter "(proxy)|(pwd)$" DenyFilter "proxy$" DenyFilter "(proxy)$" if anyone could shed some light on this i would be very pleased. 1. proftpd-1.2p10 working OK. 2. Can I hidde on virtual root ftp servers FrontPage directory _vti_* ? When I add in proftpd.conf directive: PathDenyFilter "(\.htaccess)|(\.ftpaccess)$" working OK. but add: PATHDenyFilter "(\.htaccess)|(\.ftpaccess)|(_vti_*)$" directory _vti_* not hidding. ====================================================================== Wiesiek Glod e-mail: wkg@x2.pl old wkg@halicz.com.pl
