So I'm trying to use proftpd to set up a file server and I'm having a bit of trouble. Here's what I've got so far.
/etc/passwd:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/bin/false
daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/bin/false
mail:x:8:12:mail:/var/spool/mail:/bin/false
http:x:33:33:http:/srv/http:/bin/false
nobody:x:99:99:nobody:/:/bin/false
dbus:x:81:81:System message bus:/:/bin/false
avahi:x:84:84:Avahi daemon:/:/bin/false
hal:x:82:82:HAL daemon:/:/bin/false
justin:x:1000:100:Justin Franza,,,:/home/justin:/bin/bash
ftp:x:1001:100::/home/ftp:/bin/bash/etc/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 anon.
ServerName "J Money Millionaire Disgusting File Server"
ServerType standalone
DefaultServer on
# 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 maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd).
MaxInstances 30
# Set the user and group under which the server will run.
User nobody
Group nobody
# To cause every FTP user to be "jailed" (chrooted) into their home
# directory, uncomment this line.
#DefaultRoot ~
# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
AllowOverwrite on
# Bar use of SITE CHMOD by default
<Limit SITE_CHMOD>
DenyAll
</Limit>
# A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories. If you do not
# want anonymous users, simply delete this entire <Anonymous> section.
<Anonymous ~ftp>
User ftp
Group ftpusers
# 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
DisplayChdir .message
# Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot
<Limit WRITE>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Anonymous>I followed http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90685/ch02s07.html#bcfdegfe to do some of my setup.
The problem I am having now is that when I go to my server, none of my directories are showing up. I'm sure I'm missing something fairly obvious.
The group ftpusers I created just using the defaults when i did groupadd.
Thanks in advance!
BTW: I can provide the URL for my site if it would help anyone but there's not anything showing up in it right now.

you SHOULD in any case uncomment the "DefaultRoot ~" line. otherwise anonymous users can browse through your filesytem like a real user!
i have no idea why hp wants you to create /usr/bin with ls and pwd in it, as those are basic ftp commands any client should be able to do
btw: this guide is for HP-UX, maybe their system behaves different
edit:
you should change the shell of user "ftp" to /bin/false instead of /bin/bash

RobMaloy:
Thanks! I will make those changes you mentioned.
I am pretty sure I got it fixed. The problem seemed to be that I had not forwarded ports properly in my router's configuration.
