Unless "betaftpd --help" isn't clear enough that is.. |
Sorry, but starting like " betaftpd --help " as described, will give me absolute no help, only the version and a line like " forked into the background ". It´s version 0.0.8pre17 that shows this result.
And about " Download the tarball to get the documenation ", searching with words like " betaftpd tarball " in google will show me :
http://betaftpd.sourceforge.net/
there i found a link to
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/betaftpd-cvsroot.tar.gz
but it seems to be a dead link ( on 07-21-2007, 11 h in the evening ), so i tried to download the gzip file some lines above on this side. After a sucessfull download and unzipping this i got 17 files.
But where´s now the documentation ? ?
The readme file starts only with " Hmmmmm... :-) " and next line " 1. What is it? " . But no advice about how to configure.
So can you please explain a bit more exactly ?
Regards
The only thing i know right now, is :
1) Install the program
2) Install / Add a new user, by using within a shell / commandline the " adduser " command, or from X rightclick, system, run Addusers and type in a name and password. The result is a new line in the file passwd which is located in the directory /etc and a new (home)directory for this user like /home/bob. For the new user bob there is new line in /etc/passwd file will look like
bob:x:1002:50::/home/bob:/bin/bash
3) With the ftp client from another computer, connect to this computer with the running dsl-linux and betaftpd server
4) Type in the right username ( bob ) and right password ( test), you will have _full_ access ( download and upload ) to this directory / homedrive ( /home/bob). Only to this directory.
But by walking with the ftp client along the tree you can see the whole other files on this dsl-linux server system. Until now i do not know how to prevent this.
Maybe it helps you - beep_gr -if i know or have found more, i will exlain it here.
