    Do you have a firewall?

    Yes, I do but it is ported open. Calls to the Apache server from outside go through.
    It's on the same machine.
    I'll mess with it more tomorrow.

    Re: HOWTO : Create a FTP server with user access (proftpd)

    I'm still not connecting from a ******* machine using the server's internet address. Using IE I put in the pw and it hangs on "Getting contents of folder".
    Times out with "An error occured on the server, make sure you have permission to access that folder". (I know thats a standard Win error format)
    I can connect fine using the 192.168 internal though.

    More ideas?

    Re: HOWTO : Create a FTP server with user access (proftpd)

    Could you post your proftpd.conf, i'd like to see if there isn't something which block the LIST or CWD command, it could come from you configuration file or from wrong system rights in your ftp folder.

    Also if you use IE to connect to the ftp server don't forget to specify the port if you don't use port 21, i give you an example corresponding to the guide (which use the port 1980) : ftp:\\sauron@100.12.xx.xxx:1980

    Re: HOWTO : Create a FTP server with user access (proftpd)

    I am currently using port 21 because I haven't yet figured out to make a port change in my Netgear FVS318. It has a dropdown for service but no selection of ports.
    Still looking for it....
    Thank you Frodon!

    Unhappy Re: HOWTO : Create a FTP server with user access (proftpd)

    Having a bit of trouble with step 3 "sudo gedit /etc/proftpd.conf" on the first page.

    This file does not exist.

    What have I done wrong, thanks

    I did a search on this file (I think I did the search right) and it does not exist anyware on the system.

    Re: HOWTO : Create a FTP server with user access (proftpd)

    Try it in a new terminal window.
    When doing a search, I don't remember if it is a hidden file (don't think so).

    Didn't help when I don't read it carefully

    sudo apt-get install proftpd
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    E: Couldn't find package proftpd

    What did I do wrong?
    Do I have to add extra repositories?

    Thanks

    Bluelce, indeed you shouldn't have all the repositories enabled. You could post you /etc/apt/source.list here if you wish otherwise you will find all needed informations about source.list here : http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=92672.

    steve_250, your configuration sounds good for me, so i think the problem should be your Netgear FVS318 configuration, because all your FTP server configuration seems good.

    Take a look at these links from frodon's HOWTO.

    Other stuff
    If you have a router you should read that, it describe the 2 commands to add in proftpd.conf and why.
    If you have a dynamic DNS have a look here, you can also use ddclient(maybe easier for newbies).
    Most of informations you're looking for are here
    To get more debug informations : http://www.proftpd.org/localsite/Use...ked/x1058.html
    You can specify a specific passive port range using PassivePorts command, it's very useful when you use a firewall in order to know which ports to allow.
