Adding FTP support

general

Hi,

I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 and used the LAMP Stack StackScript. I followed this tutorial in the library to set up named based virtual hosting - http://library.linode.com/web-servers/a … al_hosting">http://library.linode.com/web-servers/apache/installation/ubuntu-9.10-karmic#configureapachefornamedbasedvirtualhosting - How would i now go about giving restricted FTP access to each vhost so the ftpuser can only access one vhost?

if possible consider using sftp

for ftp, try

http://www.howtoforge.org/virtual-hosti … buntu-9.10">http://www.howtoforge.org/virtual-hosting-with-proftpd-and-mysql-ubuntu-9.10

Thanks, I went for the first option as i would prefer SFTP only. If i wanted to also enable FTPS, what would i need to do?

Follow the 2nd link, ftps normally comes with ftp servers by default, you just will have a self signed certificate which may throw warnings but nothing major
