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"
