[newbie] ProFTPD not Jiggy
Yo people. I've got a Mandrake Linux 9.2 server running ProFTP v1.28. I thought I had it all set up to run with anonymous FTP access (Using a sample /etc/proftpd.config from proftpd.org for now), and starting through xinetd... but apparently it isn't set up right, or at least it's not wanting to be just jiggy with me. Here's my setup and what happens when I try to access the ftp site: details My config file is a standard example (temporaraly) that can be found at http://proftpd.org/docs/configs/anonymous.conf After copying the above file in to /etc/proftpd.conf, I restarted xinetd. (I know next to nothing about xinetd or how to run proftpd under it, but for what it's worth, there's a 'proftpd-xinetd' file in /etc/xinetd.d/) Here's what gets my relatively-novice Linux mind boggled. Something seems to be running, but I only sorta get an ftp connection when the client connects: At this point 'netstat -a | grep ftp' gives: tcp0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN Seems chipper, from what I can gather from the limited proftpd howtos I've found. When I start to connect with a client and do netstat I get (domains are aliased): tcp0 0 [MyDomain]:ftp [ClientDomain] ESTABLISHED The client says Connected to [MyDomain] ([MyIP]) A few seconds later it goes: 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection /details Now this is probably way too much of the wrong info needed to solve my problem, which I suspect is relatively simple. I'm obviously new to FTP and fairly new to Linux; but I need this FTP server up and (eventually) configured to my requirements. any help?

You might want to check to see if your firewall is allowing port 21/tcp to be opened at all even... 2.) Install Webmin (if not already installed) - it has great features for dealing with your ProFTP installation and configuration and allows for much more clear cut and concise changes to be made with very little knowledge necessary. Seriously. 3.) Try checking/changing the two above points, and then restart your xinetd daemon and see what happens next...ay?

Hi, I'm trying to get proftpd running. I had it once in 8.1 several months ago, but now I can't seem to get it going in 8.2. I went to Control Center Services and tried to start it. It failed and said it couldn't determine the IP of clevername. When I tried to connect I got a connection refused error. I went to enable it in xinetd, and when I tried to connect again it returned a 421 error. There's nothing in /var/log/proftpd, as I expected--I don't think it's even running, even though Control Center says it is. Hints or ideas?

Re: [newbie] proftpd configuration
How do you add users to be able to connect to my ftp server? are these already existing users on your system, or are they users apart from your system such as remote users that would be connecting from outside your local lan? 1) if they're users that already exist on your system then simply editing the /etc/proftpd.conf file is all that is needed. 2) if they are remote users that do not have a login on your machine then you will have to create a login for them, i.e. make a userID for them on that machine as well as a groupID and then add them to the Proftd config.

Solutions include, fixing the DNS for the domain, fixing the hostname, fixing the /etc/hosts file. Which one works for you will largely depend on your OS and exactly what is wrong. Am I required to have a static ip to start this? Is there some other process I should be running? I'm not sure what I would put in the /etc/hosts file, or how to fix the dns. :-( Gracias, Todd -- Todd Slater mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Microsoft-Free since 13 January 2002 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

In reply to Great Dragon's words, written Tue, 23 Oct 2001 14:02:14 -0500 Very strange that it does not work with you. I did nothing to the install and it just works. I am still on MDK8.0 but not sure if that makes a difference... Paul Thats what I thought. Now I just have to find out how to get inetd to work with proftp. If I run inetd and try to connect, it replys connection rejected if I run /usr/sbin/in.proftpd manually it works fine, of corse, its permanently loaded From: Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ProFTP is installed by default and is great. -- One thing you will probably remember well is anytime you forgive and forget. -Franklin P.

Re: [newbie] ProFTPD
Beats me, I did something the otherday and it changed my mounting so the drive wouldn't mount. I finally got my users configured right and since I can load it manually, everything is hap-hazardly working...I'll have to do a better job, but for the time being, its working ok.
