Doh! I didn't even see that advanced view link in the top right corner. Thank you!

Would you mind explaining how? Because I cannot find any `hostname` option in advanced.

I am pretty sure this is because /etc/inet.d is overwritten on reboot and in the default/stock one the ftp line is not commented out.

Got it. Thank you!

So far I've figured out that /boot is the USB flash drive so changes to files on it are persistent. It looks like all of the other ones are dynamic so changes to files are lost. Are there any others that are persistant?

Humm. I see. I wonder if I could use Syncthings for this. That is how I sync files between my computers. If I can setup a one way sync between files on my server and my computer then that could do it too.

I have the update the code (I think). I've tested it a bit but could use a 2nd set of eyes. Anyone willing to give it a test before I submit a pull request? Users are restricted to a folder of your choosing You can enable/disable logging to syslog You can select the root folder for each user

Ha. I was doing that but I had a typo which is why it didn't work. Works now. Thanks!

Yeah. The Unraid UI uses one button and changes the text. I can do it myself but I'm trying to find the code it uses so I can just use the same code. Trying to use as much existing code as possible.

I'm finding it challenging to do live testing when doing development because as soon as you reboot (or if the system crashes), you lose all your changes. Right now I have set up a local repo on my computer that I edit and then have a build task that pushes (scp) the files to my unraid server. That way on reboot I can repush the files back. It works but is rather cludgy. Alternatively I can open the files directly from the unraid server using VS Code's SSH capability. But then if I reboot I will lose all my changes. I was thinking it would be cool if there was a feature where upon shutdown changed files in certain folders are copied to the flash and then the Go script copies them back on power up? Would be an easy-ish script/plugin I think. That still doesn't help if the system crashes. So I was wondering how others are doing it? Maybe I am overcomplicating this?

FWIW, I am working on an enhancement to the built in vsftpd to limit a user to just a specific folder. There is no need to use ProFTPD when vsftpd can do what we need. I'm almost done then hopefully they will accept my pull request. Stuck trying to figure out how the Done/Reset function works.

Yes. I am replacing my system soon anyway so not gonna worry about it just yet.

Yup. I am almost done. Done with the core/backend stuff. I just gotta figure out the web UI stuff. Lack of documentation for the UI makes it difficult. Almost done.

It's disabled by default in 6.9 too.

Thanks. Turned it off in /etc/vsftpd.conf. Will see if I can have logs saved elsewhere. I have no clue. I just left it to the default. I'm not even sure what it does or how often it needs to run. Any advice?

I am getting the out of memory errors. I am attaching my diagnostics. My system has 16 GB of ram and it is very low usage so I'm not sure what could be wrong? unraid-diagnostics-20210920-2301.zip

Thank you! I will check it out. I was hoping for a way to be able to edit from VS Code. Using SSH for now.

Yeah. As I learn things I am trying to document them into a GitHub repo to build a "Unraid Plugin Development How To" guide. Can hopefully help the next person.

Ohh. I thought maybe there was a more official way. I'll use the SSH plugin for VS Code. Thanks!

To be able to debug live you need to edit files in /usr/local/emhttp. Right now I keep a shell session from within the Unraid UI but editing files via nano isn't that elegant. Is there a way to create a samba share against /usr or is there a better way?

I created https://github.com/limetech/webgui/pull/953. Hopefully they approve.

So I got it done. I can't find where the `vsftpd.conf` file is in the repo. Do you know?

I guess it isn't possible to emulate that in Hyper-V. Thanks.

So it isn't possible to create a disk in Hyper-V, copy the contents of the Unraid files to it, and use that?
