Hi folks, I need your help to setup a range of passive ports for the pure-ftpd server. All the documentation I have read they were talking of typing a line in /etc/pure-ftpd.conf but I don't have that file... I have a pure-ftpd folder in etc containing some folders ls -al /etc/pure-ftpd Code: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 18 08:01 auth drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 18 08:37 conf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 18 08:37 db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 230 May 18 07:59 pureftpd-dir-aliases any help would be very appreciated.
Create a file in /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PassivePortRange, inside, just write the port range separated with a space. echo "29799 29899" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PassivePortRange (for max 50 connected clients) pure-ftpd uses files in conf dir as parameters. Be carefull setting your ports, they must NOT be used by the kernel. You must have 2 ports for every client (max 100 clients, you need 200 ports). If you need more or less than 50 default clients allowed, you must: echo "50" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/MaxClientsNumber Replace 50 with the number you want to allow... Remember to restart pureftpd.
Solved my problem, thanks! Note: I also had to open up those ports in ISPConfig3 under "Firewall" I added ",29799:29899" at the end.
This makes me wonder. My server was running without this settings until last week. Since then nobody was able to login with TLS encryption active. I really would like to know why I suddenly need to configure the PASV port range and open it in the firewall.
