If i can recomend another server, without starting a mud war.
I use pure-ftpd, simply because it just tastes great, its good for my hair
and it gives me the good helthy shine, i've come to love (big shiny colgate
smile :)
...
Seriously:
I tried many of the ftp servers i could find on freshmeat, and since i
havent come much longer than ./configure, make, make install, i really need
a server thats easy to configure. That means good documentation with
examples, and it means logical settings. Pure-ftpd had that, with examples
for setting it up through inetd and xinetd.
My server is running just fine now on both my iMac with YDL 2.0 and a pc
with OpenBSD.
pure-ftpd can be downloaded from http://pureftpd.sourceforge.net

Hi Everybody.
Still a newbie, making progress though.
I'm trying to get FTP services running on my server. I installed the
wu-ftp rpm that came with YDL 2.0. I'v gotten anonymous ftp running,
but I
cannot log in with any 'real' account I've created on the system. My
understanding is that any real account should be able to log in by
default,
without any special configuration done to the linux system or to wu-ftp
in
particular. I also understand that any configuration issues should be
done
in /etc/ftpaccess. I've rean the man pages for both ftpd and ftpaccess,
but can't see anything wrong. Here's my ftpaccess file:
===========================================================
class all real,guest,anonymous *
email root@localhost
loginfails 5
readme README* login
readme README* cwd=*
message /welcome.msg login
message .message cwd=*
compress yes all
tar yes all
chmod no guest,anonymous
delete no guest,anonymous
overwrite no guest,anonymous
rename no guest,anonymous
log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound
shutdown /etc/shutmsg
passwd-check rfc822 warn
anonymous-root /var/www
====================================================
What's my next step?
Rob
