I generally found proftpd more intuitive than vsftpd to configure. IMHO vsftpd works more smoothly with more clients, I have had troubles with proftpd especially uploads where the client would do a directory list and after the connection times out, the listing would show up in the client. Made directory traversal very slow! Never was able to find a reason for it, no amount of conf tuning was able to rectify it. installed vsftpd and the problem went away. I have never looked back.

Currently quickest way to setup anonymous ftp upload is more important than anything else. -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Debian FTP server setup questions
Hi, I have some questions regarding Debian FTP server setup. 1) Having installed wu-ftpd, ps shows: root 4190 1 0 17:58 ?00:00:00 ftpd: accepting connections on port 21 The problem is that I noticed that /etc/inetd.conf did not get changed. but I also don't have a /etc/init.d/ftpd file. So, How the ftpd get started? Isn't it suppose to be started from inetd? 2) Do I need special setup for anonymous login to work? Mine seems doesn't: $ ftp localhost Connected to my.host.org. 220 my.host.org FTP server (Version wu-2.6.2(1) Fri Jul 27 12:19:39 UTC 2007) ready.

Got this part answered from grml mlist. wu-ftpd is stared from /etc/init.d/wu-ftpd, controlled by /etc/runlevel.conf from the file-rc package.
