Why the hassle and not use SSH instead of this FTP+SSL rig? Even on Windows file transfer programs such as FileZilla, WinSCP and CyberDuck can easily handle SSH and its sub-protocols SCP and SFTP.
What if you don't want to give SSH access?
If you don't want give SSH access (ie to a login shell) but you want use SFTP so use SSH:
- unix account need only to have /sbin/nologin as login shell
he does not want to give the users access to his entire file system.
he wants to jail them into a dir
Installed & configured properly accepting TLS sessions only. Thanks.
Falko, this tutorial was incredibly helpful and useful for me. The FTP feature does not work in a fresh install of Kloxo-MR panel. I've been trying for 3 days to get pure-ftpd to work there. Have tried tons of other "solutions." Yours is the only one that worked. Thank you!
Getting GnuTLS-Fehler -110 in gnutls_record_recv: The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.
