I suggest reading why was already posted. It's literally what we've been already discussing. It took me a while to figure it out. You can either use the built in one and modify the vsftpd file in the /etc directory and configure User Scripts OR use SFTPGO. That's what has been discussed already. In great detail.

So I was playing around with SFTPGo a bit. I think I figured out what my problem was. If you edit the container then "Add another Path, Port, Variable, Label or Device" I added the directory NAME (could be anything). Set the Container path (In my case it was "/Cameras" for my security camera FTP storage location which is /mnt/user/Cameras) Set the Host Path: /mnt/user/Cameras Access Mode: Read/Write (obviously) Then after applying the changes I restart the app. Open the webui for admin. Set a virtual folder: Name "Cameras" Root directory "/Cameras" Created a user "Security" (Left the Root directory alone.) Virtual Folders I set as "/Cameras" and selected "Cameras" (that was just created) Save. Just for the heck of it I played around a bit more. Virtual folder "Movies" Virtual folder "Music" Created user "Plex" Virtual folders "Movies" and "Music" When logging into "Security" on Filezilla it loads my "Cameras" folder When logging into "Plex" it loads my "Movies" and "Music" folders. Haven't played around much more with it though but it was more than I was looking for. Would like to get some security protocols enabled though. Other than 2FA for the webui of course. I like how it has an IP Block list and an autoblock feature but that's useless against VPNs. Not sure if this is something that I want accessible through the internet. Maybe local connections and VPN access only.

Okay. Simple enough. I already had user scripts setup to automatically fire up my FTP server. The issue was that the vsftpd settings wouldn't stick. Will give this a try. Thanks!

Nope. Still didn't work. This is frustrating. EDIT: So... I kinda went the long way around. I tried installing it on a fresh Unraid server. Brand new install. I was able to setup an admin on that one. Afterwards, I then copied the sftpgo appdata file onto a network drive. I then copied that appdata folder over to the one that I was trying to work. Now it works? I haven't messed around with it much but at least I got into the "View and managed users" section. I still have no clue to what I'm doing on here though. EDIT #2 2 hours later. I still have no idea what I'm doing. I create an account on there but everything keeps going to appdata I edit the configuration to try to include the security camera directory but the very root of the program is appdata so I can't. So I change the settings in the docker app and in order to get it to work in the webgui is to literally name the user as the directory as the security folder. That's annoying. Plus, I can't get Filezilla to work on it. I'm taking a break from it. I hate that Unraid 7 dropped support for proftpd because it was so much easier!

Nope. Didn't work either. I'm doing this away from home through tailscale and even trying through Wireshark. I'll have to try it again when I get home.

Nope. Didn't work.

So what's the password then? This has been the issue from the beginning. This is what I was talking about.

I've tried that one and I can't ever get passed the login screen. It's never asked me to set an account up and can't find the user/password anywhere to set it up. I've tried everything obvious. My only successful searches ended here:

I think the update to Unraid 7 broke it and the developer ceased to maintain it kinda leaving us with limited options.

This was very helpful! Much appreciated. It took me a moment to figure out how to access the files in /etc/ Had to nano to edit. I'm not very knowledgeable in Linux but it's stuff like this that helps me learn! So thanks for that as well. EDIT: I just replaced a hard drive and rebooted the system and noticed that the FTP wasn't working. Turned out that all changes in the vsftpd.conf file were reverted. What happened? Based on what I can only assume is that since the /etc directory is loaded from the flash drive into the ram then everything in the etc directory will be reset on a reboot. I have yet to test this but I'm thinking that maybe I can make a slight edit in the /boot/config/go file? Perhaps make a back up of the vsftpd.conf file to /boot and then add something like: mv /etc/vsftpd.conf vsftpd.conf.bak cp /boot/vsftpd.conf /etc/vsftpd.conf to the go file? Maybe that way the changes will stick? By simply copying the edited .conf file over to the /etc directory before the array starts triggering the FTP service to initiate with the recent changes in the updated vsftpd.conf file? I'm not very good at this and have yet to test this. Looking for advice before pulling the trigger on it. Already made a backup of go (go.bak) and vsftpd.conf (vsftpd.conf.bak) just in case. Plus multiple flash device backups. LOL!

The transceivers were the problem. Since the Mellanox arrived today I swapped the cards and used 10GTeck fiber transceivers. I'll probably keep the Intel one and use it as a spare or on another machine.

Awesome. I had read that all Intel cards were supported all that's why I felt confident with it. But it seems that you can only use Intel modules only.

It's weird. Because these are the transceivers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753BHLQY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 It's odd that they don't work on an intel card. I guess I'll try some intel specific modules and give those a try before attempting to replace the card. Unless you think the Mellonox that I just ordered is better? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1J86R1G vs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014S2EL50

Giving this a bit more thought, maybe I have unsupported transceivers? https://a.co/d/1OJ6HOK Should be supported...
