ok... so i have the proftpd config file at" -->>>./usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf cool.... now i simply need to get better at understanding the config options... is there anyone here, who has proftpd config experience if i have a question that i can't get resolved via google/docs? given the security issues with ftp servers, i'd rather not screw this up! also, are there any 'open source'/free ftp gui client apps that handle ftp over ssh? thanks... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: Alexey Fadyushin [mailto:fab@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, October 30, 2004 7:58 AM To: bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: ftp questions.... Yes, someone who set up the server modified the file for wu-ftpd (that file has been included in wu-ftpd RPM) to run ProFTPd. The names of files in /etc/xinetd.d has no meaning to xinetd, only content of those files is used. So you could rename that file to 'proftpd' or something similar to prevent confusion in the future. For the location of FTP config file you should look in PROftpd documentation. Most probably, config file will be something like /etc/proftpd.conf. Try to use 'man proftpd'.
