Full Discussion: Linux as FTP & Mail server
Operating Systems Linux Linux as FTP & Mail server Post 39899 by Synbios on Wednesday 3rd of September 2003 06:47:29 PM

For my FTP daemon I use vsftpd. Not sure if it's the best but it works and I like it, I've also heard it's one of the fastest.

If you want to keep the FTP service internal, then get a router and don't forward the port you are using (probably 21). If you do this only the computers behind the router (your LAN) will be able to access this FTP server. You can use the LAN IP address of the server to access it.

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no

	   The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to
	   make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes
	   by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
