Andreas,
Although wu-ftpd was made for amitcp it seems
to work fine under Miami. I had an old directory
set up for amitcp, so I put the files for wu-ftp
in the appropriate amitcp:db and amitcp:serv
directories. Miami has no trouble working with
this arrangement.
MiamiDX wu-ftpd settings and setup:
put wu-ftpd in amitcp:serv, named ftpd
set InetD database settings in Miami to:
service socket protocol wait user
ftp stream tcp nowait root
server name
amitcp:serv/ftpd in.ftpd
set up the other 'ftpbanner' files and others
as directed in the wu-ftp documentation. The ftp.welcome
can be anywhere you specify in ftpaccess. It simply prints
a message of your choice of ASCII text when a user logs
on.
You don't reall need
all of the extra files such as the ftpcount etc. wu-ftpd will
still work without them.
------------------------------------------------------
To allow anonymous ftp users in Miami, set, in Miami's
database 'users' section:
user name ftp
no password (should be set to a "-" mark)
User id for a seperate 'anonymous' group (for example, use any
unique user number for your anonymous user and make a group
in Miami's database GROUP section:
Group name: guest, Group id: 98, Users: root)
Real name: Anonymous FTP User
Home dir: your choice
Shell: shell
------------------------------------
It seems to work well for anonymous users and for myself
as system administrator. It seems to be less adaptable
to control file permissions for other users. I may not
have set things up quite right, but other users still
seem to be able to delete files and so on, and I can't
control these features completely. But it works well
enough for myself and for the very few people that I
want to allow access, whom I trust.
Here is my ftpaccess file in amitcp:db:
