wuftp

I am running Redhat 7.2. I installed wu-ftp in order for users to upload their webpages for apache. You can login as anonoymous, but when you try to login as one of the users I get the following error message: 530 Must authentication before Indentifying USER. Does anyone have any ideas?

I still have trouble with Linux Based FTPd's but did you add the users to the ftp group?

[ddhottinger]

Yes, I think that all my users are listed in the proper conf files. Is there anything else I should be looking for? I took down the firewall thinking it was blocking ftp services, but anonymous users can get in. Where should I look for the users to be listed?

No not conf files you should have a group called "ftp" and you need to add them to that. Also make sure you have not added the users to be blocked.

I am pretty new at Linux. How do I create a group from the command line?

groupadd groupname
i think

or u can just use the user manager in gnome, that's what i do... may be simpler

I just finished downloading rh 8.0. I am installing that. If I cant get the ftp server to run then, I am going to use proftp.

thanks,

I don't know what anyone else thinks about using it, but I used webmin to setup my wuftp server. This is gonna sound like a webmin ad, but it makes it really easy to setup pretty much everything on your Linux Box. There are modules for setting up ProFTP too if you decide to go that route.

Installed redhat 8.0 and ftp, telnet and apache are all running fine. I dont know what was wrong with 7.3 and wuftp

I am currently using Webmin to setup my webserver. I am using RH7.3 and I was wondering if there is a way from Webmin to set up wuftp to drop my users into a different directory. I am not sure exactly what all the different fields are for so that is why I am having trouble setting up wuftp with Webmin.
