FTP Login

I just installed a fresh copy on a new server.  Setup a bunch of accounts in the Admin - unless the user is created with shell access it won't connect to via FTP or SFTP.

ERROR
421 Unable to read the indexed puredb file (or old format detected) - Try pure-pw mkdb

I only run this control panel on my local testing machine.  So, giving shell access to the accounts I create isn't a problem.

It would be great to have the ability to setup FTP accounts in the admin panel.

SFTP requires shell access
FTP requires user account created or within users panel you can create a Virtual FTP user accounts.

is there a clear answer to solve this problem
give shell access solves nothing
I do not know where I can create an ftp account in CWP
thanks

SFTP requires shell access
FTP requires user account created or within users panel you can create a Virtual FTP user accounts.

you have all informations in the previous answer

If you need FTP then all you need is to create a new account, if you need additional accounts then from the users panel you can create additional accounts!

This post has been viewed more than 400 times, so I'm not the only one to have lost  time on a problem that should not exist.
To solve, create an FTP account on the user, but another pb come, you can not create a folder at the same level as public_html, practical in many cases...
The solution back to the first reflex, connect FTP directly to the user account and then, like a miracle the connection is established without pb. After, you can then connect to any user without the need to create additional FTP account.

I thank the developers for this interface, but do not try to compete with Cpanel or Plesk which I think are a little too heavy to manage sites. Facilitate security, implementation and daily functioning as backups and more jobs is a general need.

Thanks

issue with ftp was fixed in the previous versions, its related with the virtual users database and if you are experiencing this issue, adding one virtual user will fix it again.

The only difference in /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf between yum remove / yum install and the original install is that the line in the latter:

Code: [Select]

PureDB /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdbis commented out in the former:

Code: [Select]

PureDB /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb.

The actual line in the original web installer that did it is:

Code: [Select]

sed -i 's|.*pureftpd.pdb.*|PureDB /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb|g' /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf
But this can remain so and the creation of one FTP user in a domain will set right the password table. There appears to be no separate MySQL database associated with the PureFTPd. Possibly it will use the regular user table in the root_cwp db itself or from a file containing virtual users.

The two files pureftpd.passwd and pureftpd.pdb get created in the /etc/pure-ftpd folder in the correct format now.

root user by default cannot FTP but can SFTP.

Same error:  421 Unable to read the indexed puredb file (or old format detected) - Try pure-pw mkdb

On all created user accounts.

EDIT:  I restarted the FTP server and is now working properly. For every new account i'm restart ftp server and its work.  o.O

Filezilla question.

When you create a new user for example newuser@myhost.com, how do you set up filezilla?

Hostname=
user =

thanks

tip, visit this url

I would like to use filezilla to upload files not file manager.

Thanks.
