#2 Re: Setting up an FTP server on Debian Posted by todsah (213.93.xx.xx) on Thu 25 Aug 2005 at 19:14 I too switched from proftpd to pure-ftpd, mainly because I could not get proftpd to work nicely with my particular PAM setup. Pure-ftpd's configuration is a bit strange at first. Basically, you just add files that represent commandline options to a directory /etc/pureftpd/conf/. For instance, to configure a trusted GID for which no chrooting takes place, pure-ftpd provides the --trustedgid option. To enable this as a configuration option, you create a file named TrustedGID and put the GID in that file. Even though Pure-ftpd's configuration is unorthodox to say the least, I like it better than proftpd's. For some reason I also had a lot less problems setting up rate-limiting and chrooting (for all users except a few) with pure-ftpd than I did for proftpd. It seems to me proftpd is a little more advanced and offers more options than proftpd, but so far I haven't found anything I personally use that pure-ftpd doesn't offer and proftpd does. It's worth checking out.
