Iirc, pure-ftpd upstream didnt support a configuration file itself, you configure it via flags passed on the commandline... by default the rc script uses -A -B -H -u1000 (see /etc/rc.d/pure_ftpd) and you can override it via # rcctl set pure_ftpd flags <your flags> (note that the rc script has an underscore - i dout your 'rcctl enable pureftpd' did anythingat all) I know debian has/had a perl script which parses a config directory with one file by option, which are translated to commandline switches at startup, but that wasnt upstream. I looked at the doc you mention, and maybe it'd work if you set the path to where you installed the config file (which i suppose you copied/adapted from the provided one in share/examples?) as a startup flag: # rcctl set pure_ftpd flags /path/to/config The fact that the doc shows a 'double' /etc makes me think there's a substitution error somewhere. cc'ing ports@ as it's more relevant to a pure port issue..
