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

    hi, i've got a problem, i tried to mount my usb drive to the folder "mount"

    I have changed my config file

    (added
    <Directory> /media/disk>
    Umask 022 022
    AllowOverwrite on
    <Limit READ RMD DELE>
    AllowAll
    </Limit>

    <Limit STOR CWD MKD>
    AllowAll
    </Limit>
    </Directory>
    )

    but i still get a 550 error when trying to get into my mounted directory (if nothing's mounted in there I can get in the folder)

    Help please!

    ok, i found out how to fix it, it didn't have to do anything with the ftp, just user restrictions

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

    Hello. I use ubuntu feisty fawn of server edition.
    I installed and set up the proftpd just you guys introduced above. But I don't think that mine is working correctly.
    I can access to my server by typing ftp://localhost on the server machine which runs proftpd. But when I try to access from other computer which runs opensuse, I can't login. The other computer returns the message "Could not find server". I don't see why it happens. Could you help me?

    For sure a firewall/router issue, check the configuration of both computers and verify that you have all the needed ports opened.

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

    Thank you. I just discovered that if I type IP address in, I can access to the server. For instance, like 192.168.xx.x, then I can access to the server but if I type the name of computer which you need to type in at the instllation, it does not work.Could you give me some advices?

    I always use the IP to connect to my server so if you don't have a domain name for your computer i'm not sure if it is possible to reach your computer with something else than the IP.

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

    BTW thanks for the how to. iam still having a little bit of an issue. i have my ftp server currently setup behind a router and have already configured the masquerade address and passive port. the issue iam running into is that from withing my network i can access the ftp site fine, but when i try to connect from outside my network i keep getting a permission denied error stating that i dont have enough permissions. the wierd part is that it does connect and authenticates but gives me the permission denied error (550 i think). i have attached my config file for review to see if iam missin anything. thanks

    Hi!

    I tried to follow the guide to the letter but still managed to get in trouble. Running proftpd gives me
    Code:
    vainio@Kepuinen:/$ sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd start
     * Starting ftp server proftpd                                                   - IPv4 getaddrinfo 'Kepuinen' error: No address associated with hostname
     - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'Kepuinen'
     - error: no valid servers configured
     - Fatal: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'
                                                                             [fail]
    I copied the file directly from the guide. What did I do wrong?

    There's a problem in your proftpd.conf file surely with the server name, could post your config file here so we can review it ?
