I set up a FTP server for a client. Running Ubuntu 10.10 server and proftpd. While setting it up, I was able to log into FTP from filezilla from in my office no problems. Now suddenly I cannot access it from inside, but I can still access it like normal from outside my network.I am getting 500 illegal port command when using activeAnd when I use passive, I get fail to retrieve directory.The server is on a DMZ, so ports should not be a problem, and according to our admin nothing has changed within our firewall
I use Ubuntu 10.10 and setup Proftpd apps which I would like to use to access to my files from outside of my SOHO LAN network. This is work on LAN very well but from outside I get some error msg. However I establish connection with my Ubuntu FTP Server machine but I can't get list of files and folders on server.
I get this error msg: 227 Entering Passive Mode 89,216,116,8 243,96 --> i know what this no means: my Stat IP and the port 500 Illegal Port Command Get Directory FTP Port Command failed
Some Additional Information: On the edge of SOHO LAN i use Cisco router for access to the Internet. NAT is configured, PAT (NAT overload) is configured also. I forward ports which I needed for FTP: 21 and 20, and passive ports 60000 - 60001.
When I use Windows OS and BUlletProof FTP server (port 21 or some custom port i.e. 65021) I only forward that port (21 or custom port i.e. 65021) and everything works great.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, and am trying to get proftpd to listen on a port other than 22. I've modified the proftpd.conf file, as well as adding the desired port to my /etc/services file, yet if I try anything other than port 22, the connection is refused.
I have a SUSE mail server where I have user names like john.doe. And so the email address looks like [URL]..Now I move the server to slackware and I cannot create such users, it shows the error (I use adduser command): User 'john.doe' contains illegal characters (period/dot); please choose another What can be the best (simplest) solution to preserve my email addresses as they are. I also would like to preserve the user-names used for email authentication, because there are lot of mail user clients already using those logins. What is the point in that the dot is illegal in user names? I guess that there is a good reason to this but I would like to know what it is.
if I'm connected to one of VOIP Providers using a VPN connection to this provider, how the government will know that I'm doing such this issue ? how can I mis-track that activity ?
tell me the command for iptable rule to add in Chain RH-Firewall-1 to block ftp port & the ftp server was configured in public ip address,i searched in google but i did'nt get the exact command for iptables rule in Chain RH-Firewall-1.
I have a mail server i need it to send message via port 587 not port 25, i make some changes to my postfix server which i use and it is already successed making a telnet to 587 port like it :
I'm using ProFTPd as my FTP server on a CentOS 5 box. Since updating to version 1.3.3c, I seem to have very specific problems. Connections work quite fine with about any FTP client out there, including the basic ftp command from the Linux prompt. However, when trying to connect to that server with LFTP, things go wrong. When connecting, all I get is [Connecting] then [Logging in...] and then nothing. I have to add that SSL is forced off in lftp.conf (I read it could be the problem). I sometimes get a counter for reconnection, but it never works.
The command I use in lftp is : open -u <user>,<pass> <server_ip>, the ls for lftp to establish the connection. I don't see anything at all in the server's log. I just see "FTP session opened" and "FTP session closed" in /var/log/messages" and nothing in /var/log/secure. I can give you a strace if needed. Please keep in mind that the server WORKS with anything but LFTP and NCFTP (which I also tried).
I am pretty new to Linux and I want to start a ftp server with proftpd. Well sofar I have made one but there is one problem when I login with windows, the computer don't ask for a username and password. Instead he just show some folders from my home directory.
I have used the standard proftpd config file, and tried to change some things with online tutorials but non of them worked with windows (only for linux ftp connections). Can some of you refer me to a good tutorial for a multi user ftp linux server or explane me what to do?
I followed this tutorial trying to set up proftpd. I'm using Slackware 13.1, but I had assumed most of the tutorial was all relevant still.Using the default proftpd.conf file, I was able to do anonymous login, but I was hoping to use the conf file in the tutorial to only allow certain users, so it currently looks like this:Quote:
# To really apply changes reload proftpd after modifications. AllowOverwrite on AuthAliasOnly off
I run Debian 5 64-bit machine with 2 IP-addresses. I installed ProFTPd through init.d instead of standalone but when I start it, it gives the following error:
Code: ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration. If I select standalone as servertype through the config, it works good.
Previously, I had this same machine on the same OS with 1 IP-address. I installed ProFTPd and it worked well with init.d . Maybe the 2nd IP is causing it? How can I make it work through init.d without having this error?
I installed proftpd on a new CentOS 5 server, yet when FTPing in (I can log in fine), the files and directories do not list and I get a "550 filename: Permission denied" error each time I try to "put" or "get" a file (I can tell that the file is there, though, because if I try to access a non-existent file, I get a "No such file or directory error" instead of the permission denied error).
According cu proftpd documentation this should limit upload file size to 5 MBytes to everyone excepting user crystal which is allowed to upload 100 MBytes.
Code: # Restrict upload to only 3 megabytes MaxStoreFileSize 5 Mb MaxStoreFileSize 100 Mb user crystal
My Proftpd also restricts the user crystal to 5 Mb. It seems the second line is not taken into consideration.
I recently installed ProFTPD on a Centos Linux with configure,make,install...(yum install proftpd didnt work) i installed everything it works but i cant control it through Service like, Service proftpd start,reload,stop like i used to on older servers.
I am literally quite stuck with proftp the version being: ProFTPD Version 1.3.3e# I have the following config:
[Code]...
I mean would I need to logically seperate out a series of passive ports and then open them using my custom routers NAT, so each passive port goes to its own virtual host as such? Just a bit confused about what the next steps would entail I mean I don't have any firewall on my Linux box, don't see the point since I use pfSense and an IPS/IDS and it's never been hacked since!
I cant figure out why my server running fc14 keeps saying login incorrect 530. I am using gproftpd. I know that the login is correct though. For instance: Lets say my user is "goober" and my pass is "fedora" and I go and type that in when I try and login to the ftp it says login incorrect.
A simple FTP server which allows me to acces the /var/www/html directory to upload new files for my apache webserver.
What are my problems:
When trying to login it says the following:
***Begin*** [root@ICT2-Gateway ~]# ftp 127.0.0.1 Connected to 127.0.0.1. 220 FTP Server ready. 500 AUTH not understood
[Code]....
As you can see this has nothing to do with faulty firewall settings since i'm only trying this locally. Futhermore the password is 100% correct (and keyboard layout).
Since I've changed alot in my config file it thought it's not worth mentioning here, I'm reverting back to default.
i have been havin a little trouble with my ftp server im using proftpd and have been able to connect to the box on local lan but it stops with an error about tls packet.
i have been following a guide on settin up my server [URL]...and have attached my config and error details
i have just setup a firewall using iptables on centos 5.3 but there's an issue with ftp i can connect and i can login when i give command "ls" it says entering passive mode and afterwards it times out do you know why? i have port 21 open in my firewall but still....
just thought i would throw this out there as a google search doesnt even come back with what i need. I have setup proftp with a mysql auth on a debian box. When i save files or try to modify them i get an error. Ie i dont have permission. When i look at the permissions for the files, it has a 2001 user permission and a ftpgroup as the group permission.
I want it to be ftpuser and ftpgroup with readable and writable permissions for the user and group. This is my second proftp box and i basiclly copied the config files over from the old box.
How do you configure proftpd so that once a user has failed to login and reached the MaxLoginAttempts. That they can not retry logging in for another 4 hours ?
So, I wanted a master ftp user that could access all the folders for all the users. I did this by creating a second root user. I'm aware of all the security considerations, and if there's a better way to do this than creating a root user I'd really like to know it. That said, my issue is that my new root user is still unable in FTP to access folders owned by other users that aren't world readable. Note that this is ONLY when logging in via ftp. If I login through SSH I can access all folders without problem and without the need to sudo. So this is a true root user. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix the proftpd configuration to allow my root user access to ALL folders no matter the owner?
I've just installed ProFTPd with mySQL and need to collect and/or parse statistics about users, traffic usage and so on. I've googled for a while and found no luck on getting some good guidance or manual on that. And on ProFTPd.org not much of info concerning the mySQL.
After upgrading ubuntu server to the latest version (according to apt-get) proftpd stopped working. When I try to execute proftpd I get the following message (when logged in as root or user with root privileges) :
Code:
Line 18 in modules.conf looks like this:
Code:
I've tried removing and re-installing proftpd, but this doesn't help
If I comment line 18 in modules.conf, I just get permission denied on the next LoadModule command...
Can I remove all modules? or is there a way of fixing the permission denied issue?
So I've been trying to get a single user to login to an FTP site I've created using proftpd and I haven't had much luck. So check this out: this only applies to one user, I can "su" to the user account so I know the password is set, and I am even able to SSH into the box as this user. This totally eliminates a bad/incorrect password and the server IS accepting connections on port 21 because I can FTP as other users. I've ruled out the client because I tried locally and using a command promptWinders but still no luck. This is what I'm seeing in the logs when I attempt to connect using an FTP client.
::ffff:192.168.1.118 UNKNOWN proftpd [18/Jul/2011:15:57:44 -0700] "USER crownftp" 331 - Jul 18 15:57:44 ctserver-2 proftpd: pam_unix(proftpd:session): session opened for user crownftp by (uid=0)
I have a proftpd server and I can connect from localhost but I can't from outside.I've scanned the port 21 and it isn't responding (maybe mi ISP doesn't allow traffic on that port), so I've changed to the port 63306 just to see what happens.e changed the /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf to port 63306 and restarted the proftpd service.Also I've added the rule to the firewall and an entry in the router configurationNow I try to log in through browser and it just stays like trying to connect to the server but nothing happens
I have proftpd @ Ubuntu 9.04 server. It authenticates users via Auth file, e.g. those are "FTP only" users, not real linux users. Each of them has assigned home dir in the same auth file. They also get Chrooted into it, e.g. default dir is ~ in proftpd.conf They can connect and download files successfully, however, they cannot upload anything or create directory: 550 permission denied error.
When I login via ssh and change user to proftpd user, I can create directories in that particular place, so I guess it's not Linux permissions problem? Or is it? /var/log/daemon.log is the place where proftpd stores its logs, but I cannot find anything relevant there
