July 16, 201312 yr I have this version installed proftpd-0.2-i486.plg, how do I upgrade to the latest version. I did trying deleting the old plugin and installing the new plugin. But could not get the plugin to start in the gui. I also deleted the proftd folder, that didn't make any difference either. Are there other files that need to be deleted prior to the updating?
July 16, 201312 yr Author If you have modified the proftpd.conf, make a backup of it first. Then you should delete the whole proftpd folder and the plugin file and reboot your server. Afterwards put the version from the first post into /boot/config/plugins/ and reboot again. Then replace the base proftpd.conf with your backup. If this doesn't get you going, please post a full syslog. regards, SlrG

July 17, 201312 yr Author The syslog doesn't contain any error messages regarding the plugin. The plugin should show under settings. edit: If it doesn't please check the following locations: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/proftpd/proftpd.png # plugin page icon file /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/proftpd/proftpd.page # plugin page file /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/proftpd/proftpd.php # plugin page file /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/proftpd/event/disks_mounted # event handler will start proftpd /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/proftpd/event/unmounting_disks # event handler will stop proftpd They should all be present.
August 7, 201312 yr I hope this is the right place to post ProFTPD related questions. I downloaded the .plg file and set it up. Added a user (shrek) with description (ftpuser /mnt/disk1/FTP) Shows like this in /ets/passwds shrek:x:1000:100:ftpuser /mnt/disk1/FTP:/mnt/disk1/FTP:/bin/false 2 issues I'm facing: 1st Issue : On the ProFTP setting page : Status shows as STOPPED even though the service is running (I can login via FTP): Connected to 192.168.1.100. 220 ProFTPD 1.3.5rc3 Server (ProFTPD Default Installation) [192.168.1.100] 2nd Issue: If I login with that user : I'm still able to browse to a higher level (all the way up to root and anywhere I want). How do I restrict the user to that particular folder? Attaching my proftpd.conf file here proftpd.conf
August 8, 201312 yr OK. So I was able to resolve the access perms (to lock user to their home dir) I had to add the DefaultRoot ~ property to proftpd.conf to do that. So the only issue remaining is that my proFTPd config screen still shows the status as STOPPED even though the process is running and accepting FTP connections (see attached image)
August 9, 201312 yr Author Why are you using a different config file instead modifying the one provided by me? The problem is, that you have to add the following line to your config (below "DefaultServer on"): PidFile /var/run/proftpd.pid This file is used to detect the running process. With your conf it will be created at a different position than the plugin expects it to be.
August 23, 201312 yr Is there an update to the plugin. I am currently using v1.3.5rc3, and a day or two ago I noticed in the GUI the plugin does not start. I have not changed anything to my array.
August 23, 201312 yr Author Plugin version is 0.5g now from 2013-07-17. If you have another version, please try to download from the first post and reinstall. If it doesn't work, please provide a syslog. If you already are at this version, please provide a syslog, too.
October 30, 201312 yr Just installed the plugin, Downloaded it from the first page, initially i tried installing it with instalplg proftpd.plg, but something went wrong and unraid console crashed. I removed proftpd folder and pplg and rebooted. after that i copied proftpd to /boot/config/plugins and rebooted, proftpd installed without errors. however.. i cannot start the plugin.. all i have in syslog is this. Oct 30 14:35:37 Tower sudo: root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/local/sbin/proftpd -c /etc/proftpd.conf Any idea what this is? . edit: attached syslog. syslog.zip
October 31, 201312 yr SlrG how easy would it be to replace ProFTPD with http://www.glftpd.eu/ ? The manager is good for it: http://sourceforge.net/projects/glftpdadministr/
October 31, 201312 yr Author I'm out of town for a few days. I'll have a look on the syslog and on glftpd when I'm back. Sorry.

November 1, 201312 yr No problem. This is also a great product, but commercial: http://www.crushftp.com/
November 4, 201312 yr Author @Madhouse: I did look through your syslog, but didn't find anything unusual. The plugin should work fine. So i'll have to ask some questions to find the problem. Do you have a proftpd icon under settings? If you have and click on it, what do you see? Is the status "running" or "stopped"? Is a newer version reported under updates? Do you have a config editor in the lower half of the window? Did you do any changes to the base config file? Do you have created a ftpuser using unraids "Users" dialog? Did you restart proftpd after creating the user? The name of the user is free for you to choose, but the keyword ftpuser has to be put into the comment field for each user you want to access your proftp.
November 4, 201312 yr Author @spylex: glftpd looks nice, but I think it will be hard getting it to run on unraid. I'll give it a try and report back. edit: Using the install script in the archive it is possible to install glftpd on unraid. To get the server to work, a ssl certificate hast to be created. For this to work the openssl.cfg has to be symlinked to openssl.cnf. Then use the script provided by glftpd to create the cert. Add glftpd: ALL to hosts.allow. As the created files should be identical to each unraid installation it should be possible to put them in a plugin. I don't have the time to do this however. glftpd is nice, but I found no way to limit users to specific directories. A requirement I just need.

November 4, 201312 yr Author Please open a shell window and type: /etc/rc.d/rc.proftpd start Please post the output and syslog messages this generates.
November 4, 201312 yr Please open a shell window and type: /etc/rc.d/rc.proftpd start Please post the output and syslog messages this generates. here's the output, no errors. Renewing userjail... ...OK Starting ProFTPD... ...OK however, its still not running.. according to unraid / setting I really appreciate your help.
