[HOW-TO] FTP installation for example of GlFTPd

Sir_Yaro · 09:52 AM

It's my first how-to in english so please don't be to severe...

go to :
http://glftpd.com/

download and unpack package.

Code:

cd /tmp
wget http://glftpd.com/files/glftpd-LNX_2.01.tgz
gunzip -c glftpd-LNX_2.01.tgz | tar -xvf -

change directory

Code:

$ cd glftpd-LNX_2.01

install required software:

Code:

sudo apt-get install xinetd zip unzip openssl tcpd

And run script as a root

Code:

# sudo sh installgl.sh

Thats is example how to answer the questions:

Quote:

Use tcpd? [Y]es [N]o: y
Use a jailed environment? [Y]es [N]o: y
Please enter the private directory to install glftpd inside [/jail]: /jail
Use a private group? [Y]es [No]: y
What would you like your private group to be called? [glftpd]: glftpd
Who should have access to glftpd? (separate with ,): YOUR_USER(S)_NAME
Please enter the directory inside /jail to install glftpd to [/glftpd]: /glftpd
Press <enter> for the default (glftpd)> glftpd
Enter a service name for glftpd. [...]
Press <enter> for the default (glftpd)> glftpd

don't care about this error above (probably?

)

Quote:

Enter the port you would like glftpd to listen on [21]: 21
Do you wish to use European weeks? European weeks starts with a Monday.
This is for glftpd's 'reset' binary (see docs for more info) [Y/N]: y

Please specify location, inside /jail/glftpd,
to install the cert (ftpd-dsa.pem) [/etc]: /etc
Please specify a generic name for this certificate.
This can be any name but should say something about the ftp server
like the name for it perhaps (press enter for glftpd): SirYaroFTP

I've removed most of comunicates but all important remain.
Now server generate key, it've taken about 10 sec on my computer and about 2 minutes in old version of glftpd.

Probably You'll receive error like that:

Code:

Restarting inetd . . . Failed! You must restart inetd before using glftpd.

That's mean You need to install inetd superserver. Let's do it:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install inetd

Uwaga, wybieranie inetutils-inetd zamiast inetd

Starting internet superserver: inetd.

$

Server will start automatically, let check it:

Code:

# nmap localhost|grep 21
21/tcp  open  ftp

Now we need to edit config:

Code:

sudo mcedit /jail/glftpd.conf

Quote:

#shutdown 1

define if server is on or off
0 - yes
1 - only for admin
!* - off
# at the begining - server works for all

Quote:

sitename_long MY[:space:]SITE[:space:]NAME

Long name of the server. Replace every space with [:space:] string.

Quote:

sitename_short MSN

short name of the server

Quote:

email root@127.0.0.1

admin email

Quote:

rootpath /jail/glftpd

where is server root path (do not change)

Following lines leave unchanged:
-----------------------------------------

Quote:

# Path relative to the ROOTPATH.
datapath /ftp-data

welcome_msg /ftp-data/misc/welcome.msg *
goodbye_msg /ftp-data/misc/goodbye.msg *
newsfile /ftp-data/misc/newsfile *
banner /ftp-data/misc/banner

# TLS enforcements.
userrejectsecure !*
userrejectinsecure !*
denydiruncrypted !*
denydatauncrypted !*

-----------------------------------------

Quote:

color_mode 0

Display colour listings?
Turn off - it makes only problems

put # before line:

Quote:

site_cmd LOCATE EXEC /bin/locate.sh

Quote:

free_space 20

How much free space is required to grant upload permision

Quote:

max_users 15 5

How many user may be logged in at the same time

Quote:

total_users 300

Maximum accounts amount on server

Quote:

# dupecheck how many days? ignore file case like Windows?
dupe_check 7 no

Files duplicate checking. If You have good, stable bandwidth use it. Otherwise put turn it off - it may cause a lot of problems.

ex:

Quote:

dupe_check 0 no
nodupecheck *

Quote:

dl_incomplete 0

To allow downloading unfinished files put 1 instead of 0

Quote:

min_homedir /site

Inside this directory root directory (accessible for ftp users) of server is located.

Now couple examples of additional configuration:

Quote:

upload /site/katalog/* *

everybody can upload to "katalog" directory

Quote:

upload /site/katalog/Encore/* -seem

only "seem" user can upload to "katalog/Encore" directory

Quote:

upload * -yaro -admin

users admin and yaro can upload everywhere

Quote:

download * *

everybody can download everywhere

Quote:

rename * admin 1 =STAFF

only admin, STAFF group and users with flag "1" can rename files and directories on all server

Quote:

renameown * *

everybody can rename own files and directories

Quote:

delete * 1

only users with flag "1" can delete on all server

Quote:

privpath /site/Upload/by.Blaster -yaro 1 -blaster

above-mentioned directory (Upload/by.Blaster) is visible only for user "yaro", "blaster" and users with flag "1"

I think that's all from additional options

Now we may log in (login glftpd, password glftpd). IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY LIKE ME

Code:

# ftp 127.0.0.1
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
220 MY SITE NAME (glFTPd 2.00 Linux+TLS) ready.
Name (127.0.0.1:root): glftpd

230-       `-----( Type 'site onel MESSAGE' to enter your message )-----'
230 User glftpd logged in.

Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp>

If You received an error like this:

Code:

Connected to 127.0.0.1.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
ftp> quit

do (UNSECURE!!!!!! but always working):

Code:

echo 'IP *@*'>>/jail/glftpd/ftp-data/users/glftpd

or:

Code:

echo 'IP *@your.ip.addres.here'>>/jail/glftpd/ftp-data/users/glftpd

ex:

Code:

echo 'IP *@83.141.171.241'>>/jail/glftpd/ftp-data/users/glftpd

or (probably UNSECURE as well):

Code:

echo 'IP *@0.0.0.0'>>/jail/glftpd/ftp-data/users/glftpd

It's happen beacause of some strange reasons you're not identified as some concrete ident and ip address. Look here:

Code:

$ sudo cat /jail/glftpd/ftp-data/logs/login.log
Wed Nov 23 16:23:37 2005 [6585  ] *@0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0): connection refused: ident@ip not added to any users.
Wed Nov 23 16:23:48 2005 [6639  ] *@0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0): connection refused: ident@ip not added to any users.
Wed Nov 23 16:28:10 2005 [7679  ] *@0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0): connection refused: ident@ip not added to any users.

After this actions you can notice change(s) on the end of user file:

Code:

# cat /jail/glftpd/ftp-data/users/glftpd |tail -n 4
NUKE 0 0 0
TIME 1 923341886 0 0
IP *@127.0.0.1
IP *@83.141.171.241
#

Now try login again:

Code:

$ ftp 127.0.0.1
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
220 MY SITE NAME (glFTPd 2.00 Linux+TLS) ready.
Name (127.0.0.1:yaro):

Now let's back to the point:
receiving informations about glftpd user

On the very same end You can see from which IP's You can log in using this account.To allow every ip enter *@*

Additionally You can see flag "1" mentioned above.

Description of all flags:

Quote:

-------------------------------------------------------------
SITEOP 1 User is siteop.
GADMIN 2 User is Groupadmin of one of his/her groups
(doesn't work for private groups).
GLOCK 3 User cannot change group.
EXEMPT 4 Allows to log in when site is full. Also allows
user to do "site idle 0", which is the same as
having the idler flag. Also exempts the user
from the sim_xfers limit in config file.
COLOR 5 Enable/Disable the use of color (toggle with "site color").
DELETED 6 User is deleted.
USEREDIT 7 "Co-Siteop"
ANON 8 User is anonymous (per-session like login).

Now, You can see flags "1" and "3" as well as restriction in d/l field

Lot of information You can find in file
/jail/glftpd/docs/glftpd.docs

In practise You may (it's up to You) chmod everything in /jail/glftpd/site to 777 because server control access rights by itself. Otherwise You need to take care of this rights for server (reading, writing etc access)

If You wan't to share some directory located outside /jail/glftpd/site (Do You remember

Quote:

min_homedir /site

??) directory You can do it only like that:

mount --bind /source/directory/ /jail/glftpd/site/target/directory/

and add this entry for example to /etc/rc.local

serwer ma wiecej mozliwosci niz bedziemy kiedykolwiek potrzebowac....
All accesible commands You may receive after invoking command:

Code:

ftp> SITE HELP

Good luck!

please forgive me my poor english....

This one might be altered a bit by me. Im not sure.
As u can see there is group STAFF which has 2 extra rights. People in this group can rename and move (filemove) file no matter where they are (*). U can add specific rights to different groups in a same way. Also u can limit access to this right/option to spacific path.
For example:

Code:

makedir         /path/to/directory                               *

Allow everyone to create directories (makedir) only in /path/to/directory .

Now u can login to ftp and create new group.
By default it can be done only by glftpd user because he's the only one who has admin flag (1) set up:

Code:

ftp> site user glftpd

200 Command Successful.
ftp>

and with this:

Code:

-groupcomment    1
-grpadd          1
-grpchange       1

located approximately at the end of glftpd.conf we can see that only users with admin flag has access to this comand. We can add this flag to specified other users:

Code:

site change USER flags +1

or just allow user with other flags to use this command (VERY BAD idea):

Code:

-grpadd          148

Code:

Flagname Flag Description
-------------------------------------------------------------
SITEOP 1 User is siteop.
GADMIN 2 User is Groupadmin of one of his/her groups
(doesn't work for private groups).
GLOCK 3 User cannot change group.
EXEMPT 4 Allows to log in when site is full. Also allows
user to do "site idle 0", which is the same as
having the idler flag. Also exempts the user
from the sim_xfers limit in config file.
COLOR 5 Enable/Disable the use of color (toggle with "site color").
DELETED 6 User is deleted.
USEREDIT 7 "Co-Siteop"
ANON 8 User is anonymous (per-session like login).

So to create new group u need access to GRPADD command. U can check if u have it with site help command:

Code:

230 User glftpd logged in.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.

Nice guide

I have a problem and that is that I can not log in on localhost...
I get this message " ftp: connect: Connection refused " and I have tried the install with and without tcpd enabled. Another strange thing was that on step 7(last step)of the install guide it only takes about 10-20 seconds to make the DSA parameters.

And on step 8 I get another error:

And when I try and do the nmap localhost|grep 21 command nothing happens.

Any suggestions what can be wrong?

Sir Yaro, you have to replace yaro with username. Otherwise people will just type yaro instead of their username! Or just tell them to replace yaro with their own username.

-m

Dany - what I just outlined is probably your problem.

I searched for inetd in synaptic and installed this package : netkit-inetd after that reinstalled glftpd again and I got starting inetd...sucess instead of failed, but still login doesn work.Then I tried to add the port after localhost when logging in on ftp and it worked

# ftp
ftp>o 127.0.0.1 port

Bald0z

I have the same problem!! Or even: I can login locally to my ftp, with either 127.0.0.1 or my real ip, but! All users that access my FTP fail the login, and this is what I see in login.log:

Users that tried to login were Bald0z, dade, glftpd

HELP!!!

(I tried installing an ident server, as Ubuntu doesn't ship with one natively, but that didn't seem to solve the problem).

Thank you

Jaykie

@Bald0z

It's not because of the ident server you are getting that kinda log files.
You need to disable IPV6 since glftpd doesn't support it.
Check this thread how to do it:
