pure ftpd running - can't login
 

Hi all,

On Suse Linux10 I have installed Apache and pure_ftpd using YaSt in order to use for local testing.

Problem: logged into machine as root, get as far as the line that asks for 'Password' but then the cursor won't respond


Using SmartFTP from a windows machine on the local network I get

Clearly I'm missing something :study:
It is probably obvious, but I can't see it at the moment :scratch:

Thanks

Hi,

You need to set permissions.

Did you read the docs? A 'cool solution' can be found here:

Its for the pro version of SuSe, but that doesent make any difference

Oh, and by the way: Dont ever login to your ftp as root. That is considered a major securityrisc.

Sincerely, Jørgen

Many thanks Jørgen,

That tutorial is just what I need!

Regards, Simon

You are welcome.

And offcourse, lets hear how it works out?

Sincerely, Jorgen

Things seem so much better this morning!

All is working well - just a few more tweeks with permissions & it's there :)

Thanks again, Simon
