I am unable to get Proftp Anonymous ftp working (download only; "real" use
on the internal network is working fine), and am hoping that someone here
can help me out with this. I have read all the Proftp docs faqs etc, and
subscribe to the list where I have not received any help. I have checked,
hosts_allow and deny, ftpaccess, I have user ftp, and nogroup, I have
uninstalled the files set up by wu-ftp which I had on originally, Proftp was
setup as a Debian package, and I have uninstalled it, reinstalled it as
initrd, reinstalled it as standalone; this is on a Debian Woody box. I am
running in standalone mode, I have checked the syntax, and I have followed
the other suggested remedies I have seen.
If I run proftpd -nd5 debugging I get:
The error log reads: failed binding to 0.0.0.0, port 21; address already in
use
Check server type directive to ensure you are configured correctly:
I have
ServerType standalone
Port 21
I am not aware of anything else that might be using Port 21...and if it is,
it is out of service most of the time because I do not usually have that
port open on the router.
So first, let me ask a fundamental: Is this setup of the Anonymous Ftp
directive correct:
<Anonymous /ftp> (this is a partition /ftp user: me,rwx; group: ftp-data,rx;
world, rx)
User ftp
Group nogroup
UserAlias anonymous ftp
RequireValidShell off
# Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins
MaxClients 10
DisplayLogin welcome.msg
DisplayFirstChdir .message
<Directory /ftp>
<Limit WRITE>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Directory>
</Anonymous>
I have now reached the stage where it looks like I am being logged in, but
it a) takes a very long time, and b) times out before it gives me a
directory listing
This is the error message I get from the ftp client latest message first:
