After giving up the fight to make Samba and Windows 7 play nice, I am trying the old fashioned FTP approach to share files from a Linux server to a Win7 client. After noticing very few GUI options for FTP servers, I thought this guide would be a godsend. My hopes came crashing down, however, when I noticed this from my terminal...:
I know I used aptitude instead of apt-get, but aside from that detail I entered the command as listed in step 1. I haven't read quite all 16 pages of this thread quite yet, but is there a workaround to still get the GUI aspect of this?Code:padraic@devon-2:~$ sudo aptitiude install proftpd gproftpd sudo: aptitiude: command not found padraic@devon-2:~$ sudo aptitude install proftpd gproftpd Reading package lists...

Hello all.
I've followed the guide, and I have a problem trying to find out if it works.
Every time I use a standard sudo /etc/init.d/proftp command it sais: ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd. (even if i use the stop command).
When I use the force-stop i get
Warning: ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd (trying to kill anyway).
* Stopping ftp server proftpd [ OK ]
but when i use the force-start I get
* Starting ftp server proftpd athena - fatal: Socket operation on non-socket
[fail]
As you can assume I can't even login. My servertype is inetd, and not standalone. Should i try the standalone?
My proftpd.conf is most of it the example i found:
Code:# This sample configuration file illustrates configuring two # anonymous directories, and a guest (same thing as anonymous but # requires a valid password to login) ServerName "Athena" ServerType inetd # Port 21 is the standard FTP port.

Hi,
I tried to follow this and install Proftpd, it doesn't work at all. Won't install or work.
Ubuntu 11.10
Learning Linux and Loving it...
I think I messed a bit up. Any command I can do to view all the users I have added to the server? like proftpd -ls or something?
Some command that gives me a list of the usernames I have added? Or view a document?
If you followed the tutorial the users you created are system users therefore you just need to manage your system users.
The file /etc/passwd should contain all the users you created (and a bit more).
Hello,
how can one set maximum size of a directory?
Is it even possible to set such option?
I really tried to find a solution for this but i could not find it anywhere.
Thanks for any reply.
It seems you didn't choose the good keywords, what you are looking for is how to handle "quotas" with proftpd. Here are 2 links which should be a good start point for you :
http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/Quotas.html
http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/mod..._quotatab.html
I'm sure you will find many other good websites and examples over the web or in the proftpd forum.
