Proftpd
In order to limit how many directories up people can go add to /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf:
DefaultRoot ~/../../
If you're having problems, set the debuglevel higher:
DebugLevel 3
If it's showing shit about IPv6 in syslog you can either put this in proftpd.conf
UseIPv6 off
and/or add the following to /etc/hosts
- 1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback localhost
fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
If you're getting the following in syslog when you're trying to connect to localhost: Jan 3 12:50:33 localhost proftpd[29974]: localhost (localhost[127.0.0.1]) - ProFTPD terminating (signal 11) Jan 3 12:50:33 localhost proftpd[29974]: localhost (localhost[127.0.0.1]) - FTP session closed. or Jan 3 12:49:27 localhost proftpd[29944]: localhost (localhost[::ffff:127.0.0.1]) - ProFTPD terminating (signal 11) Jan 3 12:49:27 localhost proftpd[29944]: localhost (localhost[::ffff:127.0.0.1]) - FTP session closed. and the terminal immediately disconnects with a service terminated message
a possible solution is to set
DelayEngine off
(didn't work for me)
or check /etc/proftpd/modules.conf and turn off some modules. For me
- LoadModule mod_sql.c
was doing it.
There are two values for ServerType: inetd and standalone. Remember to edit /etc/inetd.conf and restart inetd if you want to go standalone.
