Ebox and FTP

[zoggolino]

Hi there,

I'm running an Ubuntu 8.04 server with the ebox plattform for user and groups managing. Now, I like to use FTP-Access with this users to there home directories. I tried pure-Ftpd-ldap. I have to access the ebox user informations on the ldap-server. But I have no clue how to configure it. Does someone have some experiences in this or a better solution?

thanks for every help!

i use vsftpd without problem

sudo apt-get install vsftpd

Thanks for your fast answer. i changed now to vsftp and the installing was easy. But still i have a problem: I can't reach the ftp-server from outside my network.

I tried

$ telnet localhost 21

and got a connection. If try telnet localhost mydomain I didn't get any connection. I tried also with Filezilla from another network.

If I watch my port with nmap port 21 is open local but not from my domain:

$ nmap -sV localhost

You need to forward your port 21 to your server from your router.

Ok. That works now. Thanks a lot. I had also to put a port forwarding in ebox configurations. But how get vsFTP the users from ebox or my ldap-server?
