Yes, it would be great if he could use the already existing username and
password. It should not be a one time password.
I am just now looking into mysql support for pure ftpd. One solution I
have in mind is to write the password into the pureftp DB upon signup.
That would be the easiest. The other solution to write to a conf file
would be OK, too. What do you think?

are you trying to allow a user who logs in, to use his same username when
interfacing with the FTP server?
obviously, the password for the FTP server will be different. Or are you
looking to dynamically create a one time user/passwd for the user so that it
changes each time they access the FTP server?

Hello everybody,
I am running a real estate site where I would like to enable bulk
upload via real estate software that exports an xml file into an ftp
account.
In order to give every user unique access I would need to generate
individual ftp name and passwords for each member. I can not see how
this should work. My portal is written in PHP 4.x and there every
members loges in with a unique ID. The FTP Server runns on the same
linux machine. How could I generate users for this FTP server with
php, for example on sign up?
Thank you for any help on this.
Best regards,
Merlin
What ftp server are you using?
I just installed pureftpd. One possible sollution as I figured is to
alter the virtual user table of the ftp server with php.
Is this the way to go, or does somebody have a better idea that saves
dev. time?
