Proftpd problem

[tvlad]

I have proftpd installed on my Mdk system.

 

My proftpd has this config file http://www.proftpd.org/docs/configs/basic.conf

 

Now, how can i acces from my computer the ftp server (which is installed on my computer).I tried ftp.127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.100 (my nic's addres), localhost, but nothing works.

 

PS: proftpd is started, the syntax is ok.

check to make sure you dont have a file called ftpshut

its usually installed by default, either remove it or rename it to ftpshut.bak this file keeps people from logging in in case you want to do maintenance

I made it work, but when i log anonymous all i see is an empty dir, and that dir ain't empty.How can i see what's in that dir, and how can i add some more directories ????

What i want to do is a directory layouts similar to let's say ftp.linux.ro

that can be accesed anonymously.

This is my config file for proftpd :

 

ServerName My first try

ServerType standalone

DefaultServer on

 

Port 21

 

Umask 022

 

MaxInstances 30

 

# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.

User nobody

Group nogroup

 

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.

 

<Directory /*>

AllowOverwrite on

</Directory>

 

# A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories.

<Anonymous ~ftp>

User ftp

Group ftp

 

UserAlias anonymous ftp

RequireValidShell off

 

# Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins

MaxClients 10

 

DisplayLogin welcome.msg

DisplayFirstChdir .message

 

#Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot

<Limit WRITE>

DenyAll

</Limit>

 

</Anonymous>

 

 

<Anonymous ~vlad>

AnonRequirePassword on

User vlad

Group vlad

RequireValidShell off

<Directory *>

<Limit WRITE>

DenyAll

</Limit>

</Directory>

</Anonymous>

 

 

<Anonymous ~root>

 

User root

Group root

AnonRequirePassword on

RequireValidShell off

 

</Anonymous>

 

<Global>

ServerIdent on ":)"

AccessDenyMsg Welcome

RootLogin on

</Global>

 

Now, if u take a look at user vlad, the config should let me when i log on with vlad to be able to see everything, but i can only see /home/vlad, and i can't go to let's say /etc.

 

What i would like to know is: WHAT must i add to proftpd.conf, to be able let's say with user vlad to see everything. :?:

 

If login with root i can see all the dirs, but i can't acces any of them, any ideas why ???????

After i uninstalled proftpd 1.2.5 and installed 1.2.7, when i connect with vlad, i can see every dir, even if i don't have:

 

<Directory *>

<Limit WRITE>

DenyAll

</Limit>

</Directory>

 

But i encountered another problem: If i login anonymously it takes me to my home dir : /home/ftp.

 

What should i modify to make proftpd take me to another directory by default.I tried changing <Anonymous ~ftp> TO <Anonymous /var/ftp> but i was still put into /home/ftp.

Basicaly proftpd chroots the user in his home directory, so he can't go up, he can only go in directories created within his directory.Anyone know how to remove this behaviour ?

 

I tried several things but they didn't work.
