when trying to add PassivePortRange and PassiveIP in pure-ftpd on Debian and Ubuntu Linux

echo "40110 40210" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PassivePortRange
bash: /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PassivePortRange: No such file or directory

do i need to create these directories individually? i dont seem to have any folders in my etc/pure-ftpd/ folder just a few files

pure-ftpd.conf pureftpd-ldap.conf pureftpd-mysql.conf pureftpd-mysql.conf~ pureftpd-pgsql.conf

running centos 7

 

ok great thanks for that.

i did find it and have enabled it and also ensured that all outgoing ports are open.
iv also opened the 50000 55000 port range for incoming just encase that had anything to do with it.

however now i get a timeout error instead of a :
" 530 Login authentication failed
Error: Critical error: Could not connect to server
"

after it accepts the username
my normal ssh login works fine still. im starting to wonder if due to this being an aws hosted server that the aws ssh and ftp settings may be screwing things up?

 

webdav also refused the username and password with an unauthorised access response.

 

sorry... i seem to have resolved it.

i was simply using the shell user instead of the ftp user... rookie mistake. however webdav login still doesnt seem to work
