emerge proftpd

Post by Dooser »

emerged successfully.

open up xtem type 'proftpd' and i get an error

logged as root and run 'proftpd' nothing happens. you can hear the cpu working, but then it just goes to another comman line.

proftpd is a ftp server that runs in the background so it is normal that you do not see anything!

Have you set up the configuration file correctly for proftpd? Search elsewhere on this site for how to.

also you should start and stop servers using the scripts in /etc/init.d

is there somewhere a list of commands for proftpd. the only things i know how to do are start it 'proftpd' and see how long it's been running/who's on it with 'ftpwho'

i also dont know how to edit my .conf files to configure the server
