    Hi guys,
    (so I mean Pureftp in title...getting my servers muddled up)
    i know this has been brought up numerous times, however, i am having the same problem and the solutions i have read on other threads are not working for me.
    I have created ftp user in ISPConfig
    In filezilla i attempt to ftp in with that user

    I also logged in using notepad with same user...notepad logs in but cannot get a directory listing unless i manually set it to active mode, so with notepad++ active mode allows me ftp access with directory listing. I cannot get filezilla to also do this (i have manually allocated the same active mode port range for filezilla that notepad is using).

    I notice the following is not on my server...my server was setup via the ISPConfig auto installer script

    from the perfect server - debian 9 how to tutorial, /etc/default/purefptd-common should contain the following:

    [...]
    STANDALONE_OR_INETD=standalone
    [...]
    VIRTUALCHROOT=true
    [...]

    Is the ispconfig automated installer meant to insert all of the requirements shown in the perfect server setup? What other things do i need to also manually setup to ensure pureftp works as expected?​

    I have not used the ISPConfig auto installer, but reading this Forum shows it does not always produce a working server. It is critical the starting conditions of the auto installer are met, if not the installed system does not work. It seems the error messages during auto install are not visible to the user.
    I use the Perfect Server Guide. I guess you could repair that system by going through the Perfect Server guide and checking packages are installed and configuration files are correct.
