Throw us a bone mate...

ha ha ha



Actually i am full new in Linux just on learning route......

I am running on Cent OS 5. All the configuration files which are needed to restore it onto the new ftp server.

Probably if it's used VSFTPD then you will have the configuration inside:
"/etc/vsftpd/" directory
and maybe every files there.

... and your new server; come on, give us help to help you

Hi,

Ya its a used VSFTPD server


Thanks did that is there any other configuration files that i need to take backup?

Chris,

We have a old VSFTPD server running and configured. Now we out of space in it. So i need to take a backup of all the configuration files from our old FTP server and have to restore to new FTP server. I needed to know where and all this configuration file are present. i have already backed up /etc/vsftpd/ directory. Is there anything else to be backed up?



Thanks...

If your old vsftpd server is using user authentications then you might also need to take the backup of the users details and if required there home directories.

By defaults user for ftp will be under /etc/passwd. If you are using virtual users for authentication then you need to check where the user database is stored and take the backup of it.

Thank u

maybe you can post your "vsftpd.conf" file so we (users @ LQ) could take a look and see if anything else is there to backup.
