Re: [cobalt-users] FTP Login as Root

["fred@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <fred@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is what my etc/proftpd.conf file looks like if that helps.

# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use.  It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login.  It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

ServerName   "ProFTPD"
ServerType   inetd
DeferWelcome   off
DefaultServer   on
DefaultRoot                     / root
DefaultRoot   / admin
RootLogin                       on
DefaultRoot   ~/../.. site-adm
DefaultRoot   ~ !site-adm
DisplayLogin   .ftphelp
IdentLookups   off


# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port    21
# Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new dirs and files
# from being group and world writable.
Umask    002

# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
User    nobody

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
