change proftpd to pureftpd with ispconfig
 

Hi,
I'm having real problems with proftpd and ispconfig. It's really slow to login then keeps dropping me off. I've tried changing the timeouts etc to no effect at all. I have had my server working ok but I think it was pureftpd but I changed following a tutorial.

How easy would it be to change to pureftpd preferably without losing all my current logins? Can i run them concurrently? Like turn proftpd off while i try pureftpd?

Any advice would be great.

Cheers

just disable proftpd, and enable pureftpd
It depends on the distribution how to do this.

i'm using centos so i presume just /etc/init.d/proftpd stop??

I'm not great on this so if i'm wrong if you could let me know that'd be fantastic! Cheers for the help

You're correct on stopping proftpd. Can't help you with pureftp, though. Sorry.

but once i've stopped it i can just install pureftpd? which i think is on the yum package manager anyway?

Cheers

to disable proftpd at boot
to enable pureftpd at boot
or on a running system:

nice one cheers will give it a shot

ok that all seems good. Apart from all my logins are now not working. Is there a way to make them work in pure-ftpd.

Really appreciate your help.

how are logins setup in proftpd ?

i'm actually not sure. I set up a user in ispconfig and it works. I had thought it was just the system users? I can't see anything in either of the proftpd.conf or ispconfig_proftpd.conf files.

Cheers

normally users should be able to login.

currently in filezilla i'm getting a 530 login incorrect. Which is really annoying as it is trying to login way quicker than proftpd. I shouldn't have to point pure-ftpd towards my ispconfig set up should i?

ok i'm getting somewhere. I uncommented UnixAuthenication and now it getting a bit further. It gets to command PASS ******* on filezilla then hangs then gives "connection timed out".

Any more ideas folks?

Thanks again

try to change the mode in the ftp client
passive =>active
or vice versa

sadly the same result both times. It seems to recognise the user but not the password.
