There is a file to edit /etc/proftpd.conf. There are many many options take, a look at www.proftp.org for the docs.
My main issue was chroot (Not letting real users get above a specific directory.) I created a specifc group for these users, and specifed then in the .conf . The only odd hiccup was that by default Debians .conf did not allow overwriting of files. The install if I remember did create a /home/ftp dir. *--* Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *--* Voice: 425.739.4247 *--* Fax: 425.827.9577 *--* HTTP://www.otak-k.com/~lawrence/ -------------------------------------- - - - - - - O t a k i n c . - - - - - On Fri, 19 Feb 1999, Brian Morgan wrote: > I've got the latest proftpd now.
