Installation

On Ubuntu 7.10 Server you need to install the following packages:

• proftpd
• proftpd-mysql (mySQL)
• proftpd-pgsql (PostgreSQL)
• ucf

On Debian GNU/Linux use this command to install all at once:

mySQL

sudo apt-get install proftpd proftpd-mysql ucf

PostgreSQL

sudo apt-get install proftpd proftpd-pgsql ucf

Prepare for configuration

mySQL

First we create a mysql user to access the proftpd tables:

bash #> mysql -u root -p mysql
Enter password: 
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 244
Server version: 5.0.45-Debian_1ubuntu3.1-log Debian etch distribution

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> GRANT SELECT,UPDATE on pmwh.proftpd to 'proftpd'@'localhost' identified by "proftpd-password";
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> GRANT SELECT on pmwh.proftpd_groups to 'proftpd'@'localhost';
