ProFTP(D) – listen on single ip

December 2, 2009 / Daemon, Networking / By

I don’t use ftp, but wordpress comes with this nice feature to upgrade plugins automatically from the web admin interface that needs ftp.

the problem is I don’t want to enable the ftp service and make it available to the rest of the world just for that.

So I needs the following two options in proftpd.conf:

DefaultAddress 127.0.0.1
SocketBindTight on

Now restart proftpd and you’re done.

ProFTP(D) – Ident Lookups

Visto che mi è capitato e mi dimentico sempre, proftpd nell’installazione standard (Debian per capirci) è attivo di defaultl l’ident del client, quindi colpa del reverse o colpa dei dns mal configurati la connessione risulta parecchio lenta nella fase di autenticazione.

Per risolvere:

#/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
IdentLookups no
