PureFTPd problem summary

PureftpdIt is a fast, high-quality, and fully functional ftp server. The most important thing is that it supports setting the Default Client encoding. Pureftpd is very powerful and useful, but I believe you all have some questions about PureFTPd. I have collected a lot of questions here to see if there are any answers you want!

1. Virtual User:/etc/pureftpd. pdb.

Q: I modified/etc/pureftpd. passwd, but the server does not understand it: I cannot access any newly created account.

A: The server never directly reads/etc/pureftpd. passwd. Actually, it reads/etc/pureftpd. pdb. (or the file you provided after-lpuredb ).

This file is a copy of/etc/pureftpd. passwd, but the binary format is optimized for fast query.

After manually modifying/etc/pureftpd. passwd, use the following command to recreate/etc/pureftpd. pdb:

Pure-pw mkdb

If you use pure-pw useradd/usermod/userdel/passwd to add/delete/modify a user account, do not forget to use the "-m" option for automatic reconstruction, instead of upgrading/etc/pureftpd only. passwd.

2. Allow access to Point files

Q: I don't want users to read files starting with a vertex. However, there is a file that I want to read (possibly writable) to "Iohn.

A: Create A symbolic link in John's account to point to the dot file. For example:

Ln-s. bashrc

John can access ". bashrc" through the "bashrc" Symbolic Link ".

　3. Initial slogans

Q: How do I display custom information before a logon prompt?

A: Add -- with-cookie to re-compile the server, and add-F <File Name> to run the server. In the file, add your favorite custom slogans.

4. Internet Explorer.

Q: The logon dialog box is displayed in Internet Explorer.

A: IE uses A strange method to check whether the FTP Server accepts anonymous connections. basically, IE connects to the server and logs on to the server as "anonymous. if you answer "cannot log on" at this time, the connection will fail. you must answer "you can log on and allow anonymous users". Then, when the pseudo password ("IE @") is sent, you must say "Er, this ...... Last ...... In fact, anonymous logon is not allowed. It's stupid! To play this game, add-E (non-anonymous server) and-B (compatible with the compromised client) when running pur-ftpd ). then, the magic dialog box will pop up. however, note that IE (and most browsers) is usually a poor FTP client.

5. IE cannot log on to FTP

Q: Internet Explorer cannot log on (Matthew Enger)

A: Check the maximum number of connections per user or the maximum number of connections per IP address is at least 2. IE requires at least 2 connections to connect to the FTP server.

By reading the above, we are sure you can find what you need. Even if you don't find anything, you should look at the knowledge of Pureftpd! I hope this article will help you!
