Installing ProFTPD on TonidoPlug
If you’re looking to have FTP access to your plug, this guide will point you in the right direction.

Followed this guide to the letter; no love. Both root and proftpd users get the "Invalid user" message.....any ideas?

thx,

Sorry, man. My bad. I was going based on memory.

The guide should tell you to place a line in the globals section of the /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf file that reads:

Sorry for the confusion.

So, edit the file, add that line, save and close, then issue an

and you should be good to login as root.

The proftpd user won't work because ProFTPD uses virtual users by default.

Let me know if this works for you.

Replied to your message. Let me know.

I'm having some issues with ProFTPD as well. Edited the .conf file to put RootLogin on at the bottom of the file. I have seen some howtos that say add it to the <globals> but I can't find that anywhere in the conf file.

So I can ftp in but it rejects the root password. I have restarted /etc/init.d/proftpd restart already. What did I miss?

Hey,

I've been meaning to update that page.

What you need to add to the bottom of the file is as follows (including the <Globals> tags, they need to be added too.)


Then restart proftpd. It should work now.
