Hi to everybody!
I want to create an ftp server with mysql authentication because I want use
only virtual users (the server's users don't have to be system's users).
I've tried some ftp server like vsftpd,pure-ftp without results.
Now I've installed proftd, with mysql support, on my machine. After that I've create a new mysql database (known as
proftpd) with only one table (known as
users).
The structure of this table is
UserId,Passwd,UID,GID,homedir,shell, it contains only this element:
utente1 'cypher password with md5' 501, 65534, /home/ftp/, /bin/false
My configuration file of proftpd (/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf) is:
Code:
#
# /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf -- This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file.
# To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications.
#
# Includes DSO modules
Include /etc/proftpd/modules.conf
# Set off to disable IPv6 support which is annoying on IPv4 only boxes.

If I try to connect me with the server (in localhost or from an host in my LAN) I retrive this error:
Connected to freddoserv.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
What am I wrong?
Thank you very much.
