?

Hello,

I know that proftpd won't allow root access (compiled in), but you could edit the /etc/proftpd.passwd file and change the path to / after creating a temp account.

exactly what i was going to tell him, wanted to know if thats what was required first.

I know created a temp account and changed the path to /hlcs_2:/bin/false

now i can connect to that map but can't delete any files.
And i can't connect to the map /cs_1/cstrike very strange :S

Make sure that the uid:gid (user id and group id) in the proftpd password line has permission to read/write to that directory. IE: make sure it's owned by the system user, and not root or something.

can u give me maby a example line i used the 504:504 but no permission to write.

Hello,
testing:cryptedpassword:504:504:system:/:/bin/falseNote that the filesystem will govern what it can read, so you might not be able to read everything. Also "cryptedpassword" can be generated with the crypt() function in php.

I think that the problem is that i edited the file with root acces
Need to find out how to create a new ssh login and pass :P

[DirectAdmin Support]

To add an ssh user, you'd have to add theAllowUsers usernameto your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, then reload sshd.

and how about creating an FTP account for /home/ ?

What permissions should I give "admin" or what uid:gid should I use?

[DirectAdmin Support]

Hello,

What you could do, is just add everyones group to admin, which will allow admin into everyones directory. But failing doing some unix group modifications, you'd only get read permissions (at best) on /home (execept for your own home directory)
