Posted June 7, 201411 yr I'm trying to setup VSFTPD and whenever I reboot my unRAID server to have the changes apply, the vsftpd.conf file inside /etc/ reverts back to original. I'm a unix n00b. Any ideas? Or know of a command to restart the vsftpd service to apply the new settings I changed? I've googled commands but none work on unRAID.
June 7, 201411 yr Unraid boots and installs everything into the RAM of your computer. So /etc/vsftpd.conf is in RAM too. On reboot all changes will be lost. You have to create a vsftpd.conf with your changes on your flash drive and add a line to your go file, that replaces the /etc/vsftpd.conf with your version on the flash. This will then happen on every reboot and restore your settings.

July 8, 20196 yr @abeksis Sorry for the delayed answer. I receive no more direct notifications of the thread it seems. First you copy your modified vsftpd.conf from /etc/ to a folder of your flash drive. You could use mc (midnight commander) in the console or a direct command could be: cp /etc/vsftpd.conf /boot/config/vsftpd.conf Afterwards you edit your go file on the flash. In the console you can use nano. nano /boot/config/go There you add a line, that will copy the file back from the flash each time your server starts. cp -f /boot/config/vsftpd.conf /etc/ Afterwards you need to remember to copy the vsftpd.conf to the flash each time you make changes to it, or they will be lost after a reboot, as the file on the flash is still unchanged. Alternatively make the changes directly on the flash and copy the file from there to /etc or reboot to activate them. Edited July 8, 20196 yr by SlrG typo
