xfp

Post by brn »

Sorry but I am kind of new to this FTP thing, but is it possible to make xfp work on the TS-109?

Best regards

Hi brn,

We currently running ProFTPD on our product and I was wondering if there are unique features in xfp that you think ProFTPD doesn't have?

I just realised that he wrote xfp. If there is a software called xfp having to do with ftp that was meant, than I'm sorry for interruption, otherwise I guess, and thats what I first read when I took a first glance at this post, that he means fxp - site to site transfer.

The later is just a question of setup and can be supported with ProFTPD.

fxp

Post by brn »

Hi

Thank You for Your kind replies, and sorry for misspelling fxp :)

I mean server-to-server.

My unix skills are a little rusty but I managed to find and reconfigure proftpd.conf, setting the AllowForeignAddress option on, but everytime I restart the service (with the web interface - as said my unix is rusty) it seems like the config file is re-written or something - my new option disappears.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

I think your observations are right, if you restart a service the options are set back to the defaults/settings of the web interface

had the same problem when i tried to modify the nfs export options

take a look into /etc/init.d/ there are the scripts to start the different services. The script for the ftp deamon should give you a hint where to move on. Following Kents info on using own startup scripts you would probably need to write a script which starts a own instance of proftpd with your own settings, i guess you then should dissable the ftp deamon in the web interface...

As Kent already said, take care and be carefull with that
