Problem configuring pure-ftpd

konzo · 07-22-2010, 02:42 PM

I am trying to configure pure-ftpd following this instruction:
http://www.ubuntu-howto.info/howto/h...gure-pure-ftpd

I substitute myfirstuser with my own and when try to connect with it I get Connection timeout. SSL/TLS is checked at the ftp client, I provided the password I set and the ip address of my box with ftps:// before it.

I think thats all and can't figure out what I am missing.

Any sugesstions?

PS: I try some other things I see in internet
I run cmd (windows)
ftp x.x.x.x
result is :
connected to x.x.x.x
connection closed by remote host

on console netstat give following result:

debian:/home/konzo# netstat -an | grep "x.x.x.x"

udp 0 0 x.x.x.x:137 0.0.0.0:*
udp 0 0 x.x.x.x:138 0.0.0.0:*

where x.x.x.x is my ip address. I suppose ftp deamon shoul listen on port 21?? Right?

PS2:
I try theese commands and I see that ftp service listen on all IPs(if I understand it right)
netstat -a | ngrep "LISTEN"
tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN

on console I try this:
ftp x.x.x.x port
Connected to 77.70.126.28.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection
ftp>

I found that this error occur when no user and/or password are provided, but i reember that i set some pure-ftpd authorization nit unix or pam, because i have to have /etc/pam.d/ftp file and i haven't.

PS3:
which pure-ftpd
/usr/sbin/pure-ftpd

/usr/sbin# pure-ftpd stop
Unable to start a standalone server: Address already in use

Why i can't stop and start ftp server?

Still no ftp working. Any help?

Hi,

Run

Code:

netstat -tanpl|grep 21

Could be that (x)inetd is listening on port 21

konzo · 07-23-2010, 03:54 AM

netstat -tanpl|grep 21
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3556/inetd

How to change that pureftpd listen on that port?

Edit /etc/inetd.conf, find the line that starts with ftp and is uncommented and comment it out (put a # in front)
Then restart inetd. For Slackware run:

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd restart

I have previous installtion of proftpd and maybe there is the problem
in /etc/inetd.conf there was
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/proftpd
I commented this line and run this(in Debian):
/etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart
Restarting internet superserver: inetd.

Then run /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd start

but i get no response for a long time. /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start execute with no errors, but when try to connect ftp client says: "Connect call failed!"

netstat -tanpl|grep 21 did not give a result. I think that /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start didn't do anything...

PS: ftp localhost says "connection refused"

PS2:
I found in the pure-ftpd doc this command
/usr/sbin/pure-ftpd &
and ftp localhost is ok, but it didn't accept my password. I change the password with
pure-pw passwd konzo
but it didn't accept it.

Use something like

Code:

/usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -A -d -B

to start pure-ftpd from CLI and see what you get

konzo · 07-23-2010, 04:31 AM

/usr/sbin/pure-ftpd &
and
netstat -tanpl|grep 21
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4754/pure-ftpd (SER
tcp6 0 0 :::21 :::* LISTEN 4754/pure-ftpd (SER

do the trick, but can't login with virtual user i made. i can login with linux user but it drops me:

here is the log ftom ftp client:

Code:

----------
Connect to: (23.07.2010 12:30:42)
hostname=x.x.x.x:21
username=x

Hi,

You should review the steps used to configure virtual users. Also make sure you ran:

Code:

pure-pw mkdb

after adding/editing users
