NMT:Ftp

1. Telnet into the box and change to the /mnt/syb8634/etc directory.

2. Jailbreak the ftpuser and move him into the mounting directory:

         ../bin/pure-pw usermod ftpuser -D /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/ -f pureftpd.passwd

3. Re-write the PureFTPd user database:

         ../bin/pure-pw mkdb pureftpd.pdb -f pureftpd.passwd

4. That's it, you can confirm your changes if you want

         ../bin/pure-pw show ftpuser -f pureftpd.passwd

Newer versions

A recent upgrade reveals that this method no longer works, as the ftp user file is now created dynamically on startup.

To fix this, telnet into the box and copy to the /mnt/syb8634/etc/ftpserver.sh file to a download directory and edit the following section as below

start() {

       echo -n "Starting FTP Server..."
       /mnt/syb8634/bin/nmt_services.cgi cmd=ftp_passwd opt=ftpuser > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
       /mnt/syb8634/bin/telnetd telnetd -l /bin/sh -p 23 &
       /mnt/syb8634/bin/pure-ftpd -j -H -lpuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb -U 133:022 -c 10 -k 100 -I 1440 -w &
       /mnt/syb8634/bin/pure-pw usermod ftpuser -D /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/ -f /etc/pureftpd.passwd
       /mnt/syb8634/bin/pure-pw mkdb /etc/pureftpd.pdb -f /etc/pureftpd.passwd

}
