[Release] How to create Unix FTP-Server

[tschulian]

Hey guys, I decided to share my documentation to create a secured, fast and outsourced FTP Server for Unix vServers.

Here we go:

1. apt-get update && apt-get install proftpd
        1.1 Standalone -- Use this in order to get the max. performance
2. nano /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf 
	2.1 DefaultRoot ~ -- uncommend this to "lock" the directory
	2.2 RequireValidShell off -- uncommend this to allow Login of FTP Users
3. nano /etc/proftpd/modules.conf
	3.1 #LoadModule mod_tls_memcache.c -- comment this to disable tls memcache loading which produces frequently errors which are spamming your vServer otherwise.
4. mkdir /home/ftp
5. /etc/init.d/proftpd restart -- restarts the FTP Server

Authorithys for the Directory

Admin User (insert in SR_Shardmangager CFG):

chown -R USERNAME /home/ftp -- read/write for USERNAME

Normal (insert in Client) :

chmod+rx /home/ftp -- read and execute Authority for this directory for ALL users

All should be selfexplanating.


Notes:
1. Do not write PMs for help. Leave message here.
2. If you dont understand this simple steps, dont try to open a own Server
3. If u wanna hate gtfo and fys.
4. I skipped the part how to create a secured User. Find it out by yourself. (you'll need 2 Users (ftpuser and ftpadmin for example!)

If I helped leave a thanks.
