quite easy:
| Code: |
emerge proftpd
rc-update add proftpd default
/etc/init.d/proftpd start
|
and edit the conf file befor you start it  under /etc/proftpd (for examples look @ proftpd.org)

emerge vsftpd
and configure it properly
Personally I prefer to get the vsftpd version 1.1 (portahe provides 1.0..something). I found 1.1 quite good. You will need to download source and compile.
Your choice.

I've never run vsftp without problems....I don't know why, but vsftp should be also very good for more user ftp's (or not??), I belive better than proftpd (vsftp isn't so complex...)

well, there's a good chance port 21 is blocked by either your firewall (or more annoyingly and can't do anything about) your ISP.
If it's the former, read up on linux firewalls and/or xinetd, etc...
If it's the latter (which if you have cable it likely is), all you can do is tell it to run on some other port (3423 or something for example) and have people use taht port. Just make sure you don't use a port that is already bound to something
/etc/services has a listing. |

i'm just wondering, how do we specify say which folder is only allowed for access from outside?
say ~/share is the directory for anonymous
how do we set that up?
thx

what kind of program are you using now ? proftpd ?
check the conf for an entry something like this -
DefaultRootDir ~
the ~ - as far as I remember keeps the users into this folder only.
But I think there should be some examples coming with the package. |
