login probloms with proftpd
hi'
i have some login probloms with my proftpd.
i can login to my server from the command line, but cant login to him via the browser.
im using arch linux as a server.
but still i get the time out after login altough connect to server.
this is my proftpd.conf file.
Code:
# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.
ServerName ziggy
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on
# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port 21
# Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new dirs and files
# from being group and world writable.
Umask 022
# To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes
# to 30. If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections
# at once, simply increase this value. Note that this ONLY works
# in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server
# that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd).
MaxInstances 30
# Set the user and group under which the server will run.
User nobody
Group nobody
# To cause every FTP user to be "jailed" (chrooted) into their home
# directory, uncomment this line.
DefaultRoot ~
# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
AllowOverwrite on
# Bar use of SITE CHMOD by default
<Limit SITE_CHMOD>
DenyAll
</Limit>
RequireValidShell off
#This is the file that proftpd puts it.s logs.
SystemLog /var/log/proftpd.log
I am not sure but I think what you are trying to do is something different. I had proftpd running in my server for a few days for some file transfer that a friend had to do but I only worked with the command line version so he logged in the server using windows ftp command. To run it using apache(i am supposing your web server is apache) you need to have a module for ftp access. I know you want an answer but since I cant give it to you I thought a pointer might help. So look for ftp module for apache.
Neither do I If you cant find setup instructions for your system I suggest you start a new thread so people can help you better. I will look into it though and if I find anything that can help I will post it here. Look for specific instructions for your distribution first. If none shows then look at others.
