Great tutorial but I'm confussed on a couple of points.
How is the group "ftpgroup" associated to ProFTP so that only the user tom is a valid login? I have other logins on my server that I do not wish to have access to FTP.
You mention a user "srijan" but it does not seem to be used anywhere.
In /etc/sysconfig/ there is a file called proftp
the file contains:
# Set PROFTPD_OPTIONS to add command-line options for proftpd.
# See proftpd(8) for a comprehensive list of what can be used.
#
# The following "Defines" can be used with the default configuration file:
# -DANONYMOUS_FTP : Enable anonymous FTP
# -DDYNAMIC_BAN_LISTS : Enable dynamic ban lists (mod_ban)
# -DQOS : Enable QoS bits on server traffic (mod_qos)
# -DTLS : Enable TLS (mod_tls)
#
# For example, for anonymous FTP and dynamic ban list support:
# PROFTPD_OPTIONS="-DANONYMOUS_FTP -DDYNAMIC_BAN_LISTS"
PROFTPD_OPTIONS=""
Should I be using -DTLS optoion for startup?
Many Thanks - Nigel.
yes, TLS would not be used if you don't change startup options to:
PROFTPD_OPTIONS="-DTLS"
