Today's 10 minute task: set up an FTP server with a GUI.
apt-get install pureadmin
wait for it all to install,
run it,
SEG FAULT
uninstall
apt-get install gadmin-proftpd
Wait for it to install, run it... Error reading config file.
Fanny around with permissions on the directory that the installer just created... finally get the admin interface to run.
Set up a user.
Open connection from other PC... Looks good. Login: User not found. (The user is there. I can see it..)
Go back to the admin interface... Its locked up.
Restart the admin interface, create another user - still cannot log in.
uninstall.
And of course its linux so the advice that you get when you ask for help is about as helpful as asking NorthernLadUk for financial advice...
Right, Rant over.
If anyone knows of a half decent FTP server that has an easy to use GUI (Easy as in this needs to be handed over to a non technical business user to let them create new users) the advice would be appreciated.
Edit :
Oh, my, god pureftd wont uninstall now.
