Many thanks. Helped me setup FTPS (ftp over SSL) for testing server to server file transfers.

Thanks for tutorial!

Few hints for others:

1. if you are getting errors when trying to connect on proftpd restarts like:

""proftpd[1796]: error: no valid servers configured""

then make sure your /etc/hosts is in order and matches the server's DNS and hostname

2. for some reason the restart failed for me a lot - the service is not started - I every time need to do:

service proftpd stop

service proftpd start

(chaining it with && also doesn't work for me)

3. if you want to make TLS "optional" you need to edit file "/etc/proftpd/tls.conf" like this:

TLSRequired                off

(just in case it's not straighforward for you)

Good luck to you all!
