Re: FTP Server



ProFTPd is what I have installed to test out, and I have tried quite a few
exploits against it, including the few that *supposedly* get root access and I
am happy to say that nothing, absolutely nothing went wrong. So, I
think....no.....I don't think. I'll use, ProFTPd.
Loads, well, what can I say about this ? I doubt that we would get more than
50 simultaneous connections to it, but I am trying to keep my eyes open for
about 150 simultaneous connections. I hope that ProFTPd can handle this.
I too have to create an exclusive acount called ftpadmin, only accessible via
ftp and not from the actual linux box, telnet or other. You wouldn't happen to
know how to do this ? Also, how does the incoming directory get created ?

Thanks a lot much big big in advance, jejeje
