Hello, i've installed an Debian Etch on a Strato vServer. Most of installation was done almost similar to the Perfect Debian Etch How-to here on howtoforge. Playing around with ProFTPD-Settings to get TLS working i pointed out a strange behaviour of the ftpserver. To take a long story short, local connection to the ftpserver seems to be a different configuration then remote access. I had changed the ServerIdent at /etc/proftpd.conf (ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready."). Login in local brings this message. Remote login brings up '220 ProFTPD 1.3.0 Server (Debian) [xx.xxx.xxx.IP]' netstat -tap gives: Code: tcp 0 0 h123456.serverkomp:953 *:* LISTEN 27879/named tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 27844/master tcp 0 0 *:https *:* LISTEN 27757/apache2 tcp 0 0 *:44060 *:* LISTEN 26536/rpc.statd tcp 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN 26355/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:pop3s *:* LISTEN 26381/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 h123456.serverko:mysql *:* LISTEN 26268/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:pop3 *:* LISTEN 26360/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:imap2 *:* LISTEN 26337/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN 26041/portmap tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 27757/apache2 tcp 0 0 *:81 *:* LISTEN 27727/ispconfig_htt tcp 0 0 *:auth *:* LISTEN 26392/inetd tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 27900/proftpd: (acc tcp 0 0 DOMAIN.de:domain *:* LISTEN 27879/named tcp 0 0 h123456.serverk:domain *:* LISTEN 27879/named tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 26499/sshd tcp 0 1984 DOMAIN.de:ssh xxxxxxxx-:62432 VERBUNDEN 27723/sshd: user ps aux brings only one proftpd. Nothing, what seems to me for another hit than maybe inetd. But i checked /etc/inetd.conf - but everything's commented out but of ident. I can bring further info if it's needed, but actually haven't got a glue, where else to look at ... Anybody an idea how to check this? Thanks in advance. greetz skara
Hello, yes, it's the same server. in any of your howtos regarding debian setup you mentioned a /etc/hosts-file like Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain 123.456.789.12 example.net trying 'telnet localhost 21' and 'telnet example.net 21' directly on the machine was the same - different banners. it's not a problem at all - will use vsftpd. but being new to linux-setup i'm willing to learn. but i couldn't figure out, where's the problem so i asked here. if i can provide any further information, i will do so. greetz skara

That inserted DefaultAddress again. Slowly it drives me mad - but at least, my ftpserver now works. Deleting 'Include /etc/proftpd_ispconfig.conf' in /etc/proftpd.conf seems to work fine - restart via ispc and init.d worked. Why this include, if it doesn't work with but without? greetz skara PS: did i mention? great work - your howtos and nevertheless ispconfig
It's needed if you want to have anonymous FTP for a web site. But if you like, you can put a modified template of the proftpd_ispconfig.conf file in the /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/customized_templates folder (the original template is in /root/ispconfig/isp/conf). ISPConfig will then use the modified template.
