Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management)
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: ftp •
Comments: 16 Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management) This document describes how to install a PureFTPd server that uses virtual users from a MySQL database instead of real system users. This is much more performant and allows to have thousands of ftp users on a single machine. In addition to that I will show the use of quota and upload/download bandwidth limits with this setup. Passwords will be stored encrypted as MD5 strings in the database.

Booting Debian from external firewire on Powerpc Mac
Author: boborosso • Tags: linux • Comments: 0Booting Linux from a mac with firewire requires either editing initrd of an initrd kernel or building a custom one without initrd and with scsi and firewire support compiled in. Not for newbies, unless you know already how to make your firewire drive work under Linux (even if you cannot make it boot).The new beta debian etch installer is able to recognize firewire drives, so I succesfully compiled a kernel and installed the bootloader, so that the installing process could complete. Tested with a maxtor one touch and a titanium powerbook v.2

Proftp Server Web interface or GUI Tools
Author: sachi • Tags: ftp • Comments: 0Proftp Server Web interface or GUI ToolsThe main purpose of these tools is easy to maintain proftp serverProFTP Administratora web-based tool written in PHP aimed at managing users and groups for a ftp-server called "proFTPd". Because of the ammount of work gone into this project it also doubles as a system- information tool providing information like free hard-drive space, memory- statistics and much more (Something like phpSysInfo - with the notable difference that my status code so far only supports Linux, FreeBSD and Windows NT). To get a feel for how all this works you can take a gander at the screenshots-page and figure out for yourself if this is the right tool for you.
