Debian Sarge, FTP problems

[KenKnight]

I've read through several FTP related threads I found and still haven't found the fix.

My problem is this; Running proftpd. When I try to connect to the server it shows EVERY file and folder at the top level. Not in a proper tree like normal.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

I've added the socketbindtight (but don't thinks thats necessary in this case).

Also a note, when I try to do a "proftpd restart", it gives the warning about "already being in use by "Debian"". Which leads me to believe that its not under ISPconfig's control??

Thanks,
Ken

Read http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5433&highlight=DefaultAddress+127.0.0.1
Also with the latest version, this has been added to the config file..

Please check that you have
DefaultRoot ~
in /etc/proftpd.conf.

Hi all,

Well I got rid of the warning problem but I'm still getting an list of files being displayed in the "root" folder. I checked the DefaultRoot and it is in place with the tilde.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Ken

DefaultRoot ~ is missing in your proftpd.conf.

Hi Falko,

Thanks for the response. I added to the main proftpd.conf file, however, it was already listed in the proftpd_ispconfig.conf. Heres a copy of that

###################################
#
# ISPConfig proftpd Configuration File
# Version 1.0
#
###################################
DefaultAddress 127.0.0.1
<VirtualHost 192.168.10.169>
DefaultRoot ~
AllowOverwrite on
Umask 002
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.10.170>
DefaultRoot ~
AllowOverwrite on
Umask 002
</VirtualHost>



Does all that look ok?

Thanks,
ken

PS. I'm using a multihomed NIC, theres not really to physical cards there.

Did you restart ProFTPd? Does it work now? Did you try with a user you created with ISPConfig?

[KenKnight]

Sorry about the long delay between responses. I've been having to travel on business over the last few weeks.

Yes I restarted the entire system. When I login via ftp it pulls over a directory listing about 2.6megs in size still with everything right in the root.


--UPDATE---

It is now working correctly via Active connection but not passive. Unfortunantely I need passive for my software development.

--UPDATE #2--

Well after restarting the system 3 times, it now appears to be working on passive as it should. I'll restart it a few more times and see it holds.



Thanks,
Ken
