how to ftp as admin? - borzu - 09-12-2010 01:18 AM
Hi,
I am wondering how to enable ftp for admin or at any rate a user with a through privilege. This would be much handier to brows/manipulate all files on the serving using a ftp client. I used to define a user in terminal, give it root privilege, tweak vsptpd config, and then brows the server using ftp client.
What I've done yet is to add a user (in terminal) and tried ftp through this user but I get a 530 error. The password is correct, so I guess this has something to do with proftpd confgs, but I have no idea how to fix it because its new to me, so I appreciate your help.

All good FTP clients allow you to connect through sftp, which is much more secure for this purpose and works "out the box" with any system user...
