Pure-FTPd is a free (BSD), secure, production-quality and standard-conformant FTP server based upon Troll-FTPd.
Home Page:
http://www.pureftpd.org/
Creating Users:
-
First create the account:
% pure-pw useradd <username> -f /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.passwd -u <uid> -g <gid> -d /var/ftp/<username> -c "<comment>"
- <username> is the login name
- <uid> User ID (name or number) of a real user that already exists on the system, as whom the new user's account should run
- <gid> is the Group ID (name or number) of a real group that already exists on the system, as whom the new user's account should run
- <comment> is the full name of the user (or company name)
-
It will then ask you for a password, follow the prompts
Create the home directory:
% mkdir /var/ftp/<username>
Note: Refer to the <username> from step one
-
Then change permissions for that directory: % chown <uid>:<uid> /var/ftp/<username>
Note: Refer to the <uid> from step one
Then you compile the pureftpd password file % pure-pw mkdb
This is a pretty limited example for how to use the tool, and the manual page ('man pure-pw') provides more
general usage instructions.
