Favourite FTP daemon
 

The only one I've tried so far is proFTPd. Are there any better ones out there? Which do you use?

I'm thinking of using proFTP because I'm us vsftpd but I want to be able to put more restrictions on users

Disk Usage Limitations, Read and Write privilages.

I'm looking for suggestions.

i use gftp. I have never used proftp and i do not know how they compare however gftp works fine for me.

:Pengy:

tamoneya: We are talking servers here, not clients ;)

Use proftpd myself, for my very limited ftp server needs...

I am used to vsftpd as well, I have never used the others.

So how would I restrict the users to a certain
(1)directory and
(2)limit their amount of disk usage
with vsftpd.

(1) the man page has all the directives, see: http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html

In particular have a look at anon_root and local_root

(2) AFAIK this cannot be done with vsftpd but rather is dependant on using the kernels 'quota' feature, which requires the user have a valid shell on the ftp server. Also this may only work with ext2/3 filesystem, but I may be wrong.

Thanks for the help page it looks like it is really going to be a great herlp. I'll post tommorrow and tell you how it went.:D :cool:
