Hi,

I need to be able to add new virtual users in pure-ftpd using PHP if possible. I've got the following problems:

When using SSH, you enter the 'pure-pw useradd' command and it asks you twice for the password so I'm not sure if it is possible to use the PHP exec command to do that (maybe I am wrong).

Another way I was thinking was to add the user to the /etc/pureftpd.passwd file but I'm not sure how to encrypt the password using PHP.

I know how to encrypt using md5 but it doesn't seem to be using that so I'm assuming that the passwords are blowfish - is there a PHP function that I can use to encrypt using blowfish? If there is then I can just add the users to the password file using fopen.

Any help would be great so that I don't have to manually set up FTP users using SSH.

Thanks in advance.

Ignore me, I'm an idiot lol

It's easier than I thought! I simply used this:

$hash = crypt($password);

and it worked
