FTP on POGOPLUG

Postby arcidae2000 » Sat Jan 07, 2012 2:00 pm

Hi,

I'm a newbie on linux and most on POGOPLUG mods.
I've successfully install linux and web server on my plug this week (thx to your site).
Next step is FTP.

How an I do ? is there a post or a tuto that already fully explain how to ?

regards.

Be careful, test thoroughly and perhaps turn off anonymous.

bad start:
# pacman -S proftpd causes nothing, no answer, no install... try to find a solution on the web or proftp site, but if you have an idea... you're welcome.

Unfortunatelly, this does not work.
still have error 530 login incorrect when try to login.
I'm not sure about the management of the login and passwords... adminftp is added, as its PW.
Not sure about the contant of ftpuser.conf...

Is anybody has an idea of this error ?

Really and truthfully, FTP could lead to security problems, that site points you to the proftp site.
If you have no luck, I will show you a stanza on what you want

I remember when I was first hopped on linux, ssh was this obscure idea and FTP was the only way I knew how to transfer files. Might I suggest looking into using winscp and ssh to connect into your box. This may solve your file transfer issues, while also providing you good security measures.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pitzips', ' ')Might I suggest looking into using winscp and ssh to connect into your box.

This is a windows-only application, though. If you are one windows, winscp has a good GUI, but if you use somthing like PuTTy to ssh to your plug you could try PFTP or PSCP from the same group (all command-line, practice your terminal-fu).

If on a UNIX machine, scp or sftp protocol should already be in place.

This is all coming from a person who has never used ProFTPd so whichever works best for you, run with it.

Don't forget to forward the port if you are behind a router. For added security, maybe remap the ssh port to something other than default. I had something try and brute my machine a while back, changed the default port, stopped the attacks.

First you have to create a user, then a password
Then start proftpd
rc.d start proftpd
