I decided to pay wordpress.com to do it. I did get to the point where I could get Wordpress to use SSH to update the plugins or maybe sftps or something. Too much work.

Hi, if you don't want to setup ftp access and give write access to wordpress to enable automatic updates, you can always drop the updated uncompressed package in your wp-content/plugins/ folder to replace the outdated one. Run "dpkg-reconfigure wordpress" afterward to restore links. Akismet being shipped with Wordpress in Debian you will find it in: /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ and linked to in /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ . For user installed plugins the other way round is usually the norm, but some plugins support symlinks better than others so if you run into problems try both ways around. Hope it helps.

That locks the user in their home directory, but I have to give them access to other things outside that directory, just not let them go walking around and get into any other directory on the system. That's why I was thinking of VSFTP, which locks the user into their home directory, doesn't use ssh, uses TLS or something else, and lets the administrator define a list of places where the user can go.

Re: Recommendation for FTP server
If I were setting up an ftp server, I would create a /pub directory in /home and would also create a /home/pub/incoming directory then lock any guest into the /home/pub and /home/pub/incoming directories. The /home/pub directory would be where I'd put files available for download and the /home/pub/incoming/ directory is where guests could upload files if they wanted to do so. You'll find that setup on many professional ftp servers that have been on the internet for many years by now.

If the user has to access different directories trees, then maybe you could use the "bind" mount option for that from a single path the user can access to paths that are not included each other.

Re: Recommendation for FTP server
Yes, very helpful. I'll look at mount options. Here's what I did on the old Windows server: Each user had their own login. All logins sent to the same read-only area, with one subdirectory in which all users could write. I know how to set that all up with regular FTP servers like ProFTPD. Other subdirectories were symbolically linked to the user login directory. Sounds like mounting these remote shares at, or as, mount points in the user login directory would be the proper thing to do, yes? Then ssh for FTP would work just fine.

But I can not connect with Debian Testing. What do I need to do to fix this. No route to host is a network level issue outside of ftp. To be clear it has nothing to do with ftp. Are both hosts using the same network subnet? For example, if one is using 192.168.1.* and other is using 192.168.2.* then they will not be able to communicate because they will be using different subnets. In that case you would get No route to host exactly as you have posted. Without showing us more information about your systems it is impossible for us to help you further.

Check each one's description and follow links to related web sites and see if that helps you choose. I would recommend vsftpd. It's fast, secure, supports encryption, and has a very simple (option=value) configuration file format. First off, you would need to add a user 'jadjada' with password 'supersecret' to your debian system. Next, by default each user sees the entire filesystem when they are in the FTP client - they just start in their home directory. They only run into a wall when they try to enter a directory they are not allowed to traverse or when they try to read to/write to a file they do not have permissions to do so. However, if you want only a small portion of the filesystem to be visible to the user, you are able to put certain users in a chroot jail. What this means is that the end user sees a certain folder (such as /home/pijanc/tomato) as the root / of the filesystem. So what a user in FTP sees as /foo/bar is actually /home/pijanc/tomato/foo/bar. This is a good way to go for anonymous users or for users whom you don't completely trust.

Cheers, Dejan Hijacking another thread will make it difficult for others to notice and reply to you. There are a range of ftp server packages in Debian you can use. I don't use one myself, so can't provide any specific recommendation. However... ...Start Aptitude, and then search for the virtual package ftp-server. This lists a range of packages. Check each one's description and follow links to related web sites and see if that helps you choose. I would recommend vsftpd. It's fast, secure, supports encryption, and has a very simple (option=value) configuration file format. First off, you would need to add a user 'jadjada' with password 'supersecret' to your debian system. Next, by default each user sees the entire filesystem when they are in the FTP client - they just start in their home directory. They only run into a wall when they try to enter a directory they are not allowed to traverse or when they try to read to/write to a file they do not have permissions to do so. However, if you want only a small portion of the filesystem to be visible to the user, you are able to put certain users in a chroot jail. What this means is that the end user sees a certain folder (such as /home/pijanc/tomato) as the root / of the filesystem. So what a user in FTP sees as /foo/bar is actually /home/pijanc/tomato/foo/bar. This is a good way to go for anonymous users or for users whom you don't completely trust.

Recommended, easy to manage FTP server for Debian Lenny?
Hi, I'm searching for an easy to manage FTP server for Debian Lenny. Sofar I tried out many ftp servers for Lenny but none of them has an easy manager (creating users, etc.): ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, vsftpd, wu-ftpd. Has anyone a good experience with ftp server on Debian Lenny? Which ftp server is the most easy to setup and manage?

They run HardHatLinux out-of-the-box, and come with an FTP server.
Debian ('FreeLink') can be installed with more or less effort,
depending on the model. Alternatively, software can be added via ipkg
once you've 'opened' your device, or you could compile it yourself of
course. Some newer models even come with bittorrent client software.
There's also a very nice alternative GPL firmware, foonas.

ftp server
Hi, My question concerns ftpd and wu-ftpd installation under debian etch. It seems that creating /bin/ls (and librairies) for example is needed as the code corresponding to it is not embedded in those ftp servers. Thus every users is chroot ed even if not present in ftpchroot file (don t know why) My question is only motivated by curiosity (I know that there are better solutions with vs-ftpd, pro-ftpd and pure-ftpd).

Backup auf FTP-Server
Hey Liste! Kennt jemand eine Möglichkeit sinnvoll komplette Ordnerstrukturen, ähnlich wie rsync, auf einen FTP server zu übertragen? Ich hab mir schon mal sitecopy angeschaut. Jedoch überträgt dieses keine Dateidifferenzen, sondern immer die komplette Datei - im Falle einer Änderung. Kennt da jemand eine Alternative? Im Moment übertrage ich nur mittels rsync jeden Tag mein home und etc Verzeichnis auf meinen lokalen Server. Dann, dachte ich mir weiter, übertrag ich diese Dateien mittels cron-job und sitecopy auf den externen FTP-Server. Dass beide Festplatten an unterschiedlichen Orten zur gleichen Zeit kaputt gehen, ist relativ unwahrscheinlich. Also ist dieser Weg ein guter Weg zur Datensicherung? Welche Tipps könnt ihr mir auf den Weg geben um das Homeverzeichnis sauber zu halten? Es ist nämlich inzwischen 500 MB bei mir groß...und ich weiß nicht so recht warum...! ls -lahS $(find /home/ -type f -size +5000k) findet keine Dateien...ich bräuchte was, dass mir die Größe jedes einzelnen Ordners angibt, da ich annehme, dass sehr viele kleine Dateien zusammen die Übeltäter sind. Tschau Sandro

Partitioning an FTP server
I am new to Debian for servers...my only experience is with home boxes. I am building an FTP server that I want to dedicate most of the space to holding files. Clients will upload the files and we will pull them off within a day or two. The hard disk I am putting in the machine will be a 74GB drive. What would be the best way to partition it given the server's purpose? Thanks! -Bill * First time list poster * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
