Hi! Due to the inherent vulnerability of the wu.ftpd, I want to switch to a different ftp daemon after upgrading one of my Webservers. It's Webmasters need ftp access (*sigh*); plain text login is no choice, so port forwarding of the control connection through a secure tunnel is needed (in this case via ssh: ssh -L <port>:<server>:21 <server>). The precompiled packages from SuSE will not work this way; wuftpd needs an additional configure parameter at compile time to work. I was not able to get the standard in.ftpd or proftpd (preferred) work with a tunneled control connection. Am I missing something, or is this impossible? Bye, Bastian PS: Sorry if you regard this mail being rather of the "how do i configure..." type than security related... Let's try it here anyway ;) -- Bastian Friedrich bastian@bastian-friedrich.de Adress & Fon available on my HP http://www.bastian-friedrich.de/ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ \ All things are green unless they are not.
