I followed this tutorial [
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...+server+howto] trying to set up proftpd. I'm using Slackware 13.1, but I had assumed most of the tutorial was all relevant still.
Using the default proftpd.conf file, I was able to do anonymous login, but I was hoping to use the conf file in the tutorial to only allow certain users, so it currently looks like this:
Quote:
# To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications.
AllowOverwrite on
AuthAliasOnly off
# Choose here the user alias you want !!!!
#UserAlias sauron userftp

The UserAlias stuff is currently commented out as I was seeing if changing that had any effect, but it hasn't.
The ftp.log file just keeps showing
Quote:
localhost UNKNOWN nobody [19/Jul/2010:21:35:11 -0500] "USER userftp" 331 -
localhost UNKNOWN nobody [19/Jul/2010:21:35:15 -0500] "PASS (hidden)" 530 -
localhost UNKNOWN nobody [19/Jul/2010:21:35:15 -0500] "SYST" 215 -
localhost UNKNOWN nobody [19/Jul/2010:21:35:19 -0500] "QUIT" 221 -

This may be pretty obvious, but I really don't know a whole lot about Linux. I've been trying to work with Slackware as I thought that it was going to be the best distro to really learn things on. I recently got Samba set up without any trouble, but I can't at all figure this ftp thing out. If anyone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. (I've seen this topic a lot, so I don't mean to be annoying by starting another thread about it, but so far the research has not helped me get this working.) If there's any other information I can post to help diagnose the problem, please let me know.
Thanks so much.
