Hi,
I am busy trying to setup an FTP server on my Ubuntu 11.10 machine (running Gnome 3).
I have installed PureFTPd and PureAdmin using the following instructions:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureFTP
Now using a client, ie. Chrome / Filezilla etc. I can login to localhost using my ubuntu username and password fine, and everything works. Yet when i try access as a virtual user, the following happens.
Case 1: A virtual user joe that exists, with path /home/ftpusers/joe where joe and ftpusers have been set with chown to be owned by ftpusers and the group ftpgroup.
Case 2: Repeating same procedure but for a user that does not exist.
The outcome for both is the same, so it seems as if the virtual users are not being recognised at all.
How can I fix this?
Regards.
