Hi,
We used SFTP a lot for this and it worked fine, but I need to use FTP because the users are using an authoring package that supports FTP only, so I moved to using it. I will look at ProFTPD as I am currently trying to implement it with VSFTPD and I can't get my users logged in.
Andrew.

Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Setting up a web server with FTP
Well I'm just throwing this out there but what about ssh or sftp? That helps with the security.
Else I would run your FTP process with in a jail so you don't have someone get to far out of bounds in your server. Another option is to set up proftpd which is a fairly secure ftp server that uses apache style files to control access etc.
Thanks

Hi,
I want to set up a web server with FTP on a Debian box. Idea is that users log in and get access to /var/www/host, but that is it. I have done this before but it wasn't the best option, and I need this to be as secure as possible (realising that the password for FTP connections go over plaintext).
Any recipes/ideas that have worked in the past? Thanks. Andrew. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org http://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
