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

    I'm really struggling to get TLS with gproftpd, I installed proftpd and gproftpd just like at the begininng of the tutorial and followed all the instructions to create the tls certificates and stuff but it seems as though the module is not being loaded at all. I can connect to the FTP fine without TLS, but when I select Auth TLS In flashFXP i get:

    [R] AUTH TLS
    [R] 500 AUTH not understood
    [R] Failed SSL/TLS negotiation, disconnected
    [R] Connection failed (Connection lost)

    I checked the tls log but it is blank ( The file/ path doesn't even exist!)

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    This is my proftpd.conf file:

    Include /etc/proftpd/modules.conf

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

    Where do I change my users password?
    Someone else setup proftp with webmin in the config file I can see my username. No clue what my password was setup as.
    Thanks for any help. Jake

    If you followed frodon's tutorial you change the password by doing...
    Code:
    sudo passwd userftp <password here>

    Now it's just giving me a connection refused. I'm trying to access it from a VMWare virtual server, you know to simulate someone trying to access it from the outside.

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

    Hello everyone

    I followed these instructions line by line and have setup the proftpd server on my ubuntu desktop. I have a static ip assigned to this pc so i don't have any issues w/ routers.

    Everything seemed to work, however, when i try and go "ftp ipAddress" of the ubuntu box it can't connect. Am i missing something here?

    Actually yes, if you followed everything correctly you need to connect to the server through a client such as Filezilla.
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install filezilla
    Then once install run it and then for your host Put your IP address
    And well everything else is self explanatory.

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

    When i was setting up my user account I made a typo in the name and didn't realize it. My question is - Is there a way to remove a user account? Is there also a way to change the root directory as well?

    Of course there is

    In the System > Administration menu you should have an item pointing to the user & group window which allows to handle all the user and group stuff.
    You can do it using command line too using the "userdel" tool.

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

    Ahh thanks. I was trying to type userdelete rather than userdel. I also find the User and Groups menu easier to use than the terminal commands and it never occurred to me use that for some reason. That would've saved me abunch of time. I've been using Ubuntu for a week now and I've learned alot so far and things are going better than I thought they would. Just a few minor hang-ups like these.

    Thanks for the help.
