(the IPv4 gettaddrinfo 'MAINSERVER' bit)
http://xs216.xs.to/xs216/07254/proft...al-problem.png
And had i mention same thing while trying ot install, so not sure about what the current users/passes are set to as default etc.
:(
First post your proftpd.conf and run a synthax check just to be sure that there's no errors in your proftpd.conf file :
Code:proftpd -nd5
Here is the Config:
Code:# To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications.
AllowOverwrite on
AuthAliasOnly on
# Choose here the user alias you want !!!!
UserAlias sauron userftp
ServerName "KALM-FTP-Server"

# that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd)

# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.

And about the syntax check, does it return errors ?
Anyway, proftpd don't like complex name with special characters like "-" so i would advice you to choose a simple name instead then test again your server.
Changed the name so config is now:Quote:

And if i use:
IT comes up with:Code:sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd start
Code:david@MAINSERVER:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd start
Password:
* Starting ftp server proftpd - IPv4 getaddrinfo 'MAINSERVER' error: No address associated with hostname
- warning: unable to determine IP address of 'MAINSERVER'
- error: no valid servers configured
- Fatal: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'
[fail]
david@MAINSERVER:~$
Ok if "proftpd -nd5" give you erros then that's not worth to try to start the server because it's sure it will fail. I advice you to take the time to read this thread, if you would have read it before posting you would have surely found this post (post #41) where a user already had a similar problem and explained how to solve it, thanks for using the search function ;) :

Thanx for the link, I used the search, just not well enough:pQuote:

(I did not expect to work)
the "IPv6 getaddrinfo 'MAINSERVER' error: No address associated with hostname" bit does not seem right :sCode:root@MAINSERVER:~# sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd start
* Starting ftp server proftpd - IPv6 getaddrinfo 'MAINSERVER' error: No address associated with hostname
[ OK ]
root@MAINSERVER:~#
Thanx for your help so far btw.
From what i read on the proftpd forum the IPv6 error don't prevent the FTP server to work properly (i have it as well because i use IPv4 address) so you can just forget this one, you get this error because you don't use IPv6 address, anyway if you want to solve this error message read this post :

Newb question :D
Is there a FTP server for linux that you can share other HDDs/directories? When I had a Windows server running I used the old trustworthy FTP server G6 and in that you could just share whatever directory you wanted too and make links so you could see all the shared dirs in the root dir. Is this possible with some linux FTP server?
It is exactly what you do here, just mount the directoty/hdd you want in the dowload or upload directory and you are all done ;)
Look in the first post the mount command details are given
