does anyone have instructions on how to follow this guide but installing vsftpd instead of proftpd? http://howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-8.10-p7 thank you
is there any additional instructions similar to proftpd? http://howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-8.10-p6 Code: In order to install Proftpd, run apt-get install proftpd ucf You will be asked a question: Run proftpd: <-- standalone For security reasons add the following lines to /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf (thanks to Reinaldo Carvalho; more information can be found here: http://proftpd.org/localsite/Userguide/linked/userguide.html): vi /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf [...] DefaultRoot ~ IdentLookups off ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready." [...] ISPConfig expects the configuration to be in /etc/proftpd.conf instead of /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf, therefore we create a symlink (you can skip this command if you don't want to install ISPConfig): ln -s /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd.conf Then restart Proftpd: /etc/init.d/proftpd restart
You might have to adjust some settings in /etc/vsftpd.conf, for example to enable chrooting. If you want to install ISPConfig, then I recommend to go with ProFTPd - I don'T know how it works with vsftpd on Ubuntu 8.10.
