When connecting via an ftp client I want the directory listed to be /var/www/html but currently it's /home/username. I've tried changing the initial login directory with webmin to /var/www/html but to no avail. How would this be done?
View 1 RepliesI am running Proftpd on my RedHat. I have disabled anonymous login because i dont need it and its running fine.
I have created a user named test on the server and i try to connect it by typing ftp://myserver/ and then provide the id and pass.
Now it logged-in successfully but cant access any directories on the server. i have been Google around but really getting confused how i properly create a ftp user
i want the test user to access the following directories and he can be able to upload and download files from these directories
/home/usman/public_html/
/home/usman/public_ftp/
/home/usman/cgi-bin/
This isn't a major problem but I was just wondering something regarding how ProFTPd functions. I have received a complaint about a user uploading a script, the script creating files and directories, and the user not being able to CHMOD, delete, rename, or do anything to these files.
When files are created through scripts on my server, they are given a default owner permission with "www-data" for the user and group.
Since ProFTPd is set up to only modify files on certain owner permissions according to the user's FTP access, ProFTPd will not allow any other owner permission and if any other owner permissions exist, ProFTPd will not allow those files to be modified or changed in anyway.
Is there a way to fix this? I've been trying to figure it out but I can't.
Just for note, I am using proftpd-mysql and so every user is linked through a MySQL database.
i use ProFTPD as FTP.
I use webmin as admin panel.
After installation, im worried about the default security config.
Also, i can log as anonym wich is ok, however i can't log using my unix user what i have to do?
Here's my config sample;

BUT .... wen i tryed to upload somethink it give me permission denied. and when i try to delete somethink Access denied.
What did i do wrong?
I would like to setup proftpd with mod_sql to access a mysql database for ftp accounts instead of using pam. The server has pleask 8.1 installed with psa-proftpd-xinetd-1.3.0 installed. How do I recompile the psa-proftpd with --with-modules=mod_sql option? Here is the current proftpd configure command:
configure --localstatedir=/var/run --with-libraries=/usr/lib64 --sysconfdir=/etc --with-modules=mod_ratio:mod_readme:mod_quota --with-modules=mod_ratio:mod_readme:mod_quota:mod_tls --enable-buffer-size=8192 --prefix=/usr CC=gcc CFLAGS=-O -pipe -O3 -fexpensive-optimizations -fstrength-reduce -pipe -DPLESK_Linux -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/home/builder/buildbot/psa-aiconfig-810-fc4x64/build/plesk/lib/dist/usr/include -I/usr/include CXXFLAGS=-O -pipe -O3 -fexpensive-optimizations -fstrength-reduce -pipe -DPLESK_Linux -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/home/builder/buildbot/psa-aiconfig-810-fc4x64/build/plesk/lib/dist/usr/include -I/usr/include CXX=g++ LDFLAGS= --enable-ltdl-convenience --no-create --no-recursion
anyone used this directive?
how did you decide on a decent value to set the limits at?
ideally id just like to stop processes taking up too much cpu, but it seems you cant set it as a %..
Trying to install ProFTPD with mysql, the problem is after installing it and adding the lines in the config file to use MySQL the service fails to start. The error Im getting is:
"unknown configuration directive 'SQLAuthTypes'"
So it seems like it doesnt recongize the function needed to use mysql with proftpd, which is in mysql_mod.c. I did proftpd -l and the mysql_mod.c was not listed, I did a search on the whole box and couldnt find mysql_mod anywhere. Im on Fedora Core 6 and tried to install proftpd with yum:
yum install proftpd proftpd-mysql
Do I have to compile from source to get this to work? Or did I miss installing something else that would have mysql_mod.c present? I currently have mysql installed and running, tested the login info I had in the config file and everything works on the mysql side.Silly
What I want to do is setup virtualhosts for my clients and set the user/group that their files upload as. been on google and im guessing ill need to setup mod_auth?

The problem is, how do I get the group to be set as apache on a file/dir upload? I really do not like having other permissions set, as it can be a security risk, allowing others to access someone else's files.
Another issue is, I can't remove privileges, but I can add them.

We've got a Linux box running ProFTPd reaches a Windows box over SAMBA. This works very well but when the client has a great number of files, the FTP Windows-based FTP clients they use don't always give accurate directory listings (if any at all). I know there's some bug in the way SAMBA works with Windows File Sharing but I don't know what the magic file number is that, when reached, prevents a proper directory listing. Does anyone know what this magic number is or if there's an available, tested fix for this?

I followed an how-to on directadminforums:

proftpd has its own set of issues obviously built with i headers and linked to g headers. Any ideas wtf I did? I recomplined and restarted everything. I removed the g and i libraries completely. OpenSSH seems happy and nothing is actually "wrong", the server is working fine but I'm really anal retentive this way...it's kinda how I feel "safer" at the OS level.
I have been attempting to install Proftpd on linux(cent os 5 32 bit). The issue is i have to use proftpd i can't use vsftp or pure ftp I have downloaded the RPM. I downloaded this one to the server [url]. and i ran the command rpm -ivh proftpd* and it did its thing for a second and told me it was done. But when i run the command /etc/init.d/proftpd start or restart it doesn't wanna start. It just tells me failed. Can anyone help me with this? I'm not sure what else i can do.

I can connect to ProFTPd via FTP on Port 21 no problem, but currently am unable to via SFTP (using WinSCP).
I would like to block all FTP access on Port 21 and only make it only possible to connect via SFTP/SSH on Port 22.

I am noticing that several of my users are wiping out their user root folders ( logs, error docs, etc...) when they fail to use '/httpdocs/' as the root directory when publishing with FTP.
I fixed this by editing the proftpd.conf to use ~/httpdocs/ as the DefaultRoot folder ( instead of just ~/ ).Would it be safer(better) to go through all the ftp users and make the home directory '/httpdocs/' instead of '/' in the admin UI? If yes, what is the best way to do a mass update of this setting for multiple users ( multiple domains ) ?
Is it possible to enable NLS support in psa-proftpd package?
root@server :]> proftpd -V | grep NLS
- NLS support
Is it possbile for proftpd to support not English filenames ( for example russian, greek etc )?
Followed the guide over at [url]to get proftpd setup.
It only lists ways to create a single upload directory and a single download directory.
Tried all possible ways to get a directory creating allowing read/write but so far unsuccessful.
how this can be acheived?
Here is my current config.
#start of config
<Directory /home/FTP-shared>
Umask 022 022
AllowOverwrite off
<Limit MKD STOR DELE XMKD RNRF RNTO RMD XRMD>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Directory>
<Directory /home/FTP-shared/download/*>
Umask 022 022
AllowOverwrite off
<Limit MKD STOR DELE XMKD RNEF RNTO RMD XRMD>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Directory>
<Directory> /home/FTP-shared/upload/>
Umask 022 022
AllowOverwrite on
<Limit READ RMD DELE>
DenyAll
</Limit>
<Limit STOR CWD MKD>
AllowAll
</Limit>
</Directory>
#end of config
/home/FTP-shared/read-write is the folder I want to be able to read and write data to.
Since moving servers I've been plagued by constant disconnects whilst using FTP:
421 No transfer timeout (300 seconds): closing control connection
I've gone through Proftpd's forum and documentation numerous times to try and find a solution to this but have been unsuccessful so far.
Within proftpd's config file it's set at:
TimeoutLogin 120
TimeoutIdle 3600
TimeoutNoTransfer 3600
TimeoutStalled 3600
So I am unsure where it is getting the "300 seconds" from.
Even though the error states 300 seconds, this problem happens way before 300 seconds every time and has happened during the transfer of files (when the connection has been active and in use).
I've tried 3 different FTP clients and used the "Keep Alive" option in each and it has absolutely no effect.
I am unsure if APF is causing the problem, I can't see any problems in any of the server logs in relation to ftp.
I had a HDD crash recently on my Root Server. Replaced HDDs, installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, since Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is not supported by Plesk yet. Anyway...
I had 2 issues:
1) Could not create Customers, because IP Pool was empty. Changed IP Type from Dedicated to Shared. Fixed issue.
2) Cannot connect to the FTP Server using the Login Data from one of my Domains.
FlashFXP and FileZilla both show the same error, which is:
Code:
Response:220 ProFTPD 1.3.4c Server (ProFTPD) [*ip removed*]
Command:USER *user removed*
Response:331 Password required for *user removed*
Command:PASS **************
Response:530 Login incorrect.
Error:Critical error
Error:Could not connect to server
I have a brand new Plesk 12 Installation with just a first Subscription/Domain for my test. Enabling fail2ban jails brings me the following error for the jails plesk-proftpd and ssh. All others went on.
error 'f2bmng failed: ERROR No file(s) found for glob /var/log/secure'.
I see that /var/log/secure is missing, althoug I already used ssh and ftp to log in once. I can go to touch the /var/log/secure file or adjust the jail configs to proper log file location? Which is the way to go?
My company and I are currently discovering Plesk on a CentOS 6.6 based system. We are migrating from an old system on which FTP usernames could hold uppercase letters, which apparently is not the case in Plesk 11 (or is it because of CentOS?).
Anyway, as we can't change these FTP account names, I was thinking about creating a rule with mod_rewrite in the proftpd.conf file.
So the question is: how can I reinstall/reconfigure proftpd with this module activated? I don't even know where to find the corresponding package (which repo, correct version, etc...)
