Ftp [solved]

[Hironatashima]

What is a very good FTP server package, and how do you configure it for Linux? I am running in navtive 64 bit mode, so I need to have a stable non masked package.

I recommend proftpd and vsftpd. proftpd has a huge number of features, and vsftpd is very lightweight.

I don't know... I know that MySQL is a security hole... is it required to use pure ftp?

So I'm going to emerge it, and after that how do I configure it... according to WIKKIpedia, that tutorial tells you to include MySQL, and as a security technician, my guts tell me to not use MySQL... especially because it is a pain to secure. I mean, I want to have a secure login, but that tutorial uses MySQL as the security. How do I adjust for that?

I'm using vsftpd and ising explicit SSL. I don't know how much secure it can get from that . Configuration is simple, altyhough finding a linux client can be a pain. I eventually found jftp and it works wonders, for windows however filezilla works wonders

[Hironatashima]

I have vsftpd, and I'm actually enjoying Filezilla, but here is my question... How do I make it so a single user can access other directories than just their home directory? I have a total of three or four shares that I want to be available on the ftp server, they are on my home directory, but I don't want to share out the private files in /home....

I found that proftpd is an easier and better configurable choice. especially with webmin.
