The proftpd server is the way you want to go especially if you’re trying to set up a virtual host type environment. It uses the apache file format so you should find it familiar. Let me know if you need any setup pointers. On Aug 11, 2014, at 5:58 PM, Andrew Hodgson <andrew@hodgsonfamily.org> wrote:
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.

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 Scott

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
