Thanks for help, Chris

/etc/inetd.conf is ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/proftpd/in.proftpd in.proftpd But ws-ftp's "Passive transfers" is no problem. ProFTPD is Passive mode only?

I can't get mirror to work well with symlinks and proftpd. After testing a while I found that proftpd seems to make no difference between the two commands: ls -lR ls -lLR where the last should make proftpd show up the real files, not the symlinks which point to the files. Here is a simple test: cd /var/tmp mkdir -p d0/d1/d2/d3 mkdir d0/real_dir date >d0/real_dir/test ln -s ../../../real_dir d0/d1/d2/d3 ln -s ../../../real_dir/test d0/d1/d2/d3/data_link Then, proftpd gives no difference with the above two ftp-commands: ... d0: drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Feb 29 06:26 . drwxrwxrwx 5 root root 3072 Feb 29 08:35 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Feb 29 06:26 d1 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Feb 29 06:26 real_dir d0/d1: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Feb 29 06:26 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Feb 29 06:26 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Feb 29 06:26 d2 d0/d1/d2: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Feb 29 06:26 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Feb 29 06:26 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Feb 29 06:26 d3 d0/d1/d2/d3: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Feb 29 06:26 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 Feb 29 06:26 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 29 06:26 data_link -> ../../../rea l_dir/test lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 29 06:26 real_dir -> ../../../real _dir d0/real_dir: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Feb 29 06:26 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 Feb 29 06:26 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29 Feb 29 06:26 test ...

Try the attached patch, made against the current CVS sources (mod_ls.c 1.21 2000/01/23). This is my first look at the mod_ls.c code, and I didn't spend much time on it, so there is some doubt in my mind about it, particularly the push_cwd/pop_cwd bits. So, don't be shy with feedback, positive or negative. If it looks OK, I can submit the patch. It's probably too late to get by the 1.2.0 release code freeze, though. While we are thinking about this stuff, I noticed that a couple of other common ls options are missing that might be reasonable to add, e.g. -A, -p, and -s. It also occurred to me that there might be legitimate use for a method to disable the -R option, from a resource conservation point of view. This could be either a directive, or a sentinel file (like the wu-ftpd .notar), or both. A more comprehensive directive, say "LsDisableOptions", might disable ls options selectively. Thoughts? Speaking of .notar, mod_tar doesn't appear to use that convention. Does anyone miss that feature?

Running on RH60 proftpd-1.2pre10 Kernel 2.2.14. > > Any ideas? This was one of the problems I experienced with proftpd under FreeBSD 4.0. The problem, from what I can tell (MacGyver has yet to respond to my Emails. Did you die, Mac?), seemed to be related to the fact that proftpd has #ifdefs which look for the definition of 'FREEBSD3', generated during configure time, taken from uname (most likely). Since 'FREEBSD4' wasn't listed, well, you can see the problem. The code that used this was in inet.c, if my memory serves me right. The patch was very small. Check your logfiles. The error I was receiving made zero sense; proftpd was claiming port 21 was already bound (ab- surd, since the daemon was in standalone mode ;-) ). Can't really help you much more than this, as you're using Linux. Best of luck.

Well, my gut feeling (sorry, just played who wants to be a millionaire on abc.com) is to put this in your proftpd.conf: LsDefaultOptions -al That will add -al, but you probably want that. If adding -al doesn't work out, tell me.

Nope, doesn't work. I'm behind a firewall. Tried setting to passive mode: "We only support stream mode, sorry." I have to recompile the source?

I have to recompile the source? it sounds like you can't run a FTP server ... what is happening is that a client can connect to port 21 to send the commands through, but data transfers (either coming from a non-restricted port > 1023, or from port 20) going to the client are blocked on one end or the other. you'll want to talk to the people in charge of your local firewall and see what their setup is. typically I'd allow: incoming to server on port 20-21, >1023 outgoing from server to all client ports (if you have to limit it, ports >1023)
