Comments on Virtual Hosting With vsftpd And PostgreSQL

Virtual Hosting With vsftpd And PostgreSQL This document describes how to install a vsftpd server that uses virtual users from a PostgreSQL database instead of real system users. I couldn't find any tutorial like that on the internet, so when that configuration finally worked for me, I decided to publish it. The documentation is based on FreeBSD 6.2 which I was recently forced to use (I usually use Debian). Nevertheless the document should be suitable for almost any Linux distribution as well (may require very small amendments).

I applied this tutorial for managing FTP accounts through a web interface developped with the Symfony framework... coupled to a MTA service. it works great. thanks for that !

I just added "virtual_use_local_privs=YES" in /etc/vsftpd.conf to be able to upload things without permitting the same for anonymous clients.

Have fun,
