[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

	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.

	# We want 'welcome.msg' displayed at login, and '.message' displayed
	# in each newly chdired directory.
	DisplayLogin			welcome.msg
