[edit] Introduction
FTP daemons are easy to setup and nice to use if you ever want to share files publicly. They can especially be useful as an alternative to local network file systems or SSHD if security is not a concern.
To install please emerge it directly.
emerge -va net-ftp/proftpd
[edit] Use Flags
Before emerging please edit the use flag to suit your need.
Use flag available
acl ncurses pam ssl tcpd -authfile -ban -case -clamav -deflate -hardened -ifsession -ipv6 -ldap -mysql -nls -noauthunix -opensslcrypt -postgres -radius -rewrite (-selinux) -shaper -sitemisc -softquota -vroot -xinetd
[edit] Configuration
After emerge done, please edit the configuration file in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf.
File: /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
# 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 anonymous access. ServerName "ProFTPD Default Installation" '''Change This to your Server Name''' ServerType standalone DefaultServer on RequireValidShell off AuthPAM off AuthPAMConfig ftp # 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 the maximum number of processes per service # (such as xinetd). MaxInstances 30 # Compiling this recently will show: # * With the introduction of net-ftp/ftpbase the ftp user is now ftp. # * Remember to change that in the configuration file. # Set the user and group under which the server will run. User ftp Group proftpd # Normally, we want files to be overwriteable. <Directory /> AllowOverwrite on </Directory> # A basic anonymous configuration, with no upload directories. <Anonymous ~ftp> User ftp Group ftp # We want clients to be able to login with "anonymous" as well as "ftp". UserAlias anonymous ftp # Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins. MaxClients 10 # We want 'welcome.msg' displayed at login, and '.message' displayed # in each newly chdired directory. DisplayLogin welcome.msg DisplayFirstChdir .message # Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot. <Limit WRITE> DenyAll </Limit> </Anonymous>
