After reading your conf file i don't see anything wrong, i don't understand why users are still able to delete, i use quite the same method in my guide and it works without any problems, it's weird.
Yes, it's easy to use and really powerful
Yes, but i won't use it
No, the GUI has to be improved

Strange indeed. Well, I suppose I'll just put it in the pile of unsolved mysteries, then.
I found out today that I am actually able to change the permissions of the folder nowadays - I suppose I haven't tried that since I upgraded to Dapper or something. So it's possible for me to prevent people from deleting files, but the downside of it is that I myself won't be able to do it either without meddling as root. That's a minor problem, though.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the help!
(After all, now I know that it's something strange, and not just I that is doing things wrong... )
In Sweden, we have polar bears walking on the streets. Really.
followed the howto - but when start the server , i get this error.. any ideas anyone? cheers
frank:/home/ftp# /etc/init.d/proftpd restart
Stopping ftp server: proftpd.
Starting ftp server: proftpd - IPv6 getaddrinfo 'localhost.localdomain' error: Name or service not known
Did you change anything in the proftpd.conf file given in the guide ? If yes could you post it ?
I like the way you have the server setup however I have one question. If I set more aliases to allow more login account names, they all have the same password...the password set for userftp.
Is there a way to still use aliases and have seperate passwords without having to setup system accounts for each user?

Without creating new accounts, i would say no but obviously i may be wrong.
BTW, do you (all users) think it would be useful for you if i write a small guide on how set a FTP server with TLS/SSL encryption, that means the authentification and the data are encrypted (SFTP) ?
Well i figurd out how to do what I wanted from my previous post. I had to abandon the use of alias.
I am using virtual users with the AuthUserFile feature and things are working great.
I also have TLS enabled and working nicely.
Any value added in me documenting the use of virtual users on this forum?
nix4me
Use the following steps to get TLS working in proftpd:
Answer the questions - Valid answers are not importantCode:# sudo apt-get install build-essential # sudo apt-get install libssl-dev # cd /etc # sudo mkdir ftpcert # cd ftpcert/ # sudo openssl genrsa 1024 > host.key # sudo chmod 400 host.key # sudo openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365 -key host.key > host.cert
Add these lines to the /etc/proftpd.conf
*Note - Use TLSRequired ON to force the use of TLS. OFF means that the use of TLS is optional.Code:TLSEngine on TLSLog /var/log/ftpd/tls.log TLSProtocol TLSv1 TLSRequired off TLSVerifyClient off TLSRSACertificateFile /etc/ftpcert/host.cert TLSRSACertificateKeyFile /etc/ftpcert/host.key
Let me know if you have problems,
