Yes, it's easy to use and really powerful
Yes, but i won't use it
No, the GUI has to be improved
Ok, I'm still having 530 issues. I also cannot connect from my wifi-connected laptop within the network, so it's not a modem problem, and I don't think it's the router. I'm thinking it's either a configuration problem (I have checked the folder permissions) or a firewall problem somewhere. I understand that ubuntu has a built-in firewall somewhere? How can I check up on this and see if it's the issue? I'm going to try switching from port 1980 to port 21 but I'm not sure if that will help. When I do localhost it says that the Connection is refused, so I don't think I'm even getting in. Any clues?

Hello
I used your Guide, Im currrently on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. Created the directory /home/FTP-shared with the two download and upload subdirectories. The ftp works fine, tested it out on the LAN with filezilla.
Now I wanted to share my NTFS partition in the download folder so i used the code u posted which said something like
i restarted the FTP server and tried logging in with my ftp client. I can connect fine into the server but when i try to open the download directory it saysCode:sudo mount -o /media/sda5 /home/FTP-shared/download
Please advise.Code:Error : 550. Permission Denied.
Much appreciated.

The problem with NTFS is that it doesn't support unix rights system therefore the rights on it depends only on how you mounted the drive.
Keep in mind that when you mount a directory into another one it will have the rights of the source directory (here your NTFS directory).
So check the rights of the directory you are trying to mount, if they are not at minimum 755 then you have the cause of your issue.
I had proftpd working on 5.10, and I just removed that installation and installed 7.10. Copied over my .conf file from the old configuration, and I get the following message when attempting to restart the service.
* Stopping ftp server proftpd [ OK ]
* Starting ftp server proftpd - IPv6 getaddrinfo 'basement' error: No address associated with hostname
[ OK ]
I am thinking it has something to do with /etc/hosts or an ip route table. Any thoughts????
This guide is awesome, and was very helpful when I set the ftp server up on 5.10, I am going to take notes this time, so I don't forget all the places I have to touch.
Thanks,
Rob
You will find the answer in previous posts in the thread, start a search on this thread using the "Search this thread" button under the poll with ipv6 as key word and you will find the posts which contain the fix.
Anyway this error message is not important if you don't use IPV6, so if you use srtandard IPV4 you can ignore it.
