Can't log in pure-ftpd server with IE, but can with command prompt.
Hi,
I'm currently running a pure-ftpd server on my computer running Debian Linux. I did it according to an article titled: "Virtual Hosting With PureFTPd And MySQL (Incl. Quota And Bandwidth Management)", which I can't post because i don't have 5 posts yet =p. It described how to use a MySQL database for virtual accounts, and its running pure-ftpd as a standalone (for more information search the article name on google).
Well, I can log in with a command prompt FTP client just fine, and everything seems to work. When I try to login with clients such as FlashFXP, or Internet Explorer, I get the prompt to log into my account. After logging in, it waits for a long time "Getting contents of folder", and then I get an error message "An error occured opening that folder on the FTP server. Make sure you have permission to acccess that folder. Details: The operation timed out."
I run a server using PureFTPD, theres a commandline option you need to have set, IE is a broken FTP client, but theres a commandline option to accept these "broken" clients...
don't have my setup in front of me, but look through the docs... its in there...
Umm, when I try to run it directly, it tells me
Unable to start a standalone server: Address already in use
And I'm having some trouble editing the script. Can anybody help?
Ok, I tried this, but after I entered the command you gave me, it excecuted it without any problems (but it didn't return anything either). But, when I tried to log in, same thing happened =(.
Also, when I tried to run the command you gave me twice, without stopping the server, it didn't give me any errors like the one it gave me before. When I stopped the server, then tried to run "Pure-ftpd-mysql -b" by itself, it stil gave me the "Unable to start standalone server" message.
I'm now under windows XP and check the IE setting, found it using passive mode by default, and the ftp command use port mode automatically. It's the difference.
Umm, when I use FlashFXP, and turn Passive mode off, it still doesn't work ='(.
I think it's because of the -b. I'm new to linux, and I think the problem is that I can't get the -b option to turn on.
Has anybody used pure-ftpd-mysql before and fixed this problem?
Ok, I just realized, running any of the init.d scripts doesn't seem to be doing anything to pure-ftpd. Fore example, if I try typing
/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd-mysql stop
It says: "Stopping ftp server: pure-ftpd", but when I try to connect to it, I can still log into my ftp account! Like I said, I'm pretty new, but could this be because I'm running the server in standalone mode? How do I switch to the other mode (inetd I think)?
