Heri,
I use pure-ftpd (www.pureftpd.org) and it was quite easy to set up. Here is what I had to do, hopefully it will help you with your configuration:
Me too! And it's the best ftp server I've ever seen. Very easy to
install, setup and administrate. You must try it!
Bye!
1.) Download source from web site, configure, make, make install, etc. (View README, INSTALL documentation first)
2.) Add a script in /etc/init.d/ to start and stop pure-ftpd at system boot and halt. Create start/stop links in /etc/init.d/rc5.d
3.) For my setup, I had to configure my router to allow outside users to connect with FTP port 21 and to forward these requests to the local address of the SuSE workstation running the FTP server. By default my router was set up to drop these requests for security reasons.
If you try pure-ftp, let me know, I may be able to help out.
