I just have a question about something that I have noticed. Every five minuted a connection is created to the FTP server, and then it is immediately closed. Why is this? Code: Sep 7 20:15:01 server pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] New connection from localhost.localdomain Sep 7 20:15:01 server pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] Logout. Sep 7 20:20:01 server pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] New connection from localhost.localdomain Sep 7 20:20:01 server pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] Logout. Sep 7 20:25:01 server pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] New connection from localhost.localdomain Sep 7 20:25:01 server pure-ftpd: ([email protected]) [INFO] Logout. Also, how do you ftp to the server using the root information? I would like to put a site up at the server directory. Thanks.
Thanks for the information. I thought that it was something like that, but I just wanted to be sure that nothing else was going on.
http://download.pureftpd.org/pub/pure-ftpd/doc/README.Virtual-Users You can setup manually a virtual user account as root or you can use the pure-pw tool witch has the following syntax: <account>:<password>:<uid>:<gid>:<gecos>:<home directory>:<upload bandwidth>:<download bandwidth>:<upload ratio>:<download ratio>:<max number of connections>:<files quota>:<size quota>:<authorized local IPs>:<refused local IPs>:<authorized client IPs>:<refused client IPs>:<time restrictions>
