I’ve just spent a few hours getting pure-ftp to work (but I was trying
to upload from XP in Virtualbox!), so I can understand your frustrations.

Firstly, do you get asked for a name and password at the start or are
you using anonymous access - you may need to post the messages to get
specific help? For personal reasons I have restricted ftp access to myself.

If you have enabled “authenticated users only” or “both” (I used YAST),
have you added the user to the “ftp” group?

I’m sure someone experienced will be along shortly :slight_smile:

Hello,

I’ve created “public” with password “public”, group ftp by default, when i type “ftp 127.0.0.1” :
_
regis@linux-mj1z:~> ftp 127.0.0.1
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
220-Welcome to Pure-FTPd.
220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed.
220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Name (127.0.0.1:regis): public
331 User public OK. Password required
Password:
530 Login authentication failed
ftp: Login failed.
ftp>
_

Can you tell me where configure the anthentication ? OK, it’s Yast, but where ? :frowning:

Thank you

Friendly,

Regis

You should not use xinet to launch pure-ftpd or any other ftpd for that matter - it has some downsides.

To enable normal users (users from /etc/passwd rather than anonymous users or virtual users), edit:
/etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf and find:

Don’t allow authenticated users - have a public anonymous FTP only.

AnonymousOnly yes

change that to no.

Disallow anonymous connections. Only allow authenticated users.

NoAnonymous no

change that to yes.

To fire up pure-ftpd without xinetd:
rcpure-ftpd start

To enable it to start on every startup:
chkconfig pure-ftpd on

Remember that everytime you change the configuration file, pure-ftpd needs to be reloaded - with rcpure-ftpd restart

Remember to edit the /etc/xinetd.d/pure-ftpd and disable it so it doesn’t conflict with the service based pure-ftpd. Restart xinetd for it to take effect.
