configuring FTP server proFTPD - how2 {partially solved}
Posted: 8. Dec 2016, 20:02
Dear fellows,
after I installed VirtualBox I installed Win2K and then, with some hassle, eComstation 1.2R (OS/2 4.5 plus addons) in VB.
The problem with OS/2 in VirtualBox is, USB doesnot work reliable and a shared folder is not supported.
Loading into OS/2 is quite handy by creation of disk/CD images. But downloading files from OS/2 onto Salix is a pain
and sometimes impossible.
So I thought about FTP.
Connecting from Win2K or OS/2 (in VirtualBox) to FTP servers out in the Internet works.
So I setup proFTPD in Salix from the repo.
After several trials I was able to point gFTP (Salix) to the proFTPD server with anonymous/ftp login. Finally I managed to load files in both directions local<>server.
However, this doesnot work with Win2K nor with OS/2 in VirtualBox.
Is there any Salix'er out there familiar with proFTPD to tell me what I probably misconfigured and how to resolve that?
Thanks for any volunteer .
Update: I did some fiddling and now it seems to work. text-mode FTP clients still have problems but HandyFTP (OS/2) and the FTP-functionality in Mozilla (Win2K) are connecting without obvious issues. It is just the permissions on the files not being correct. Will hopefully find out...
