FTP-server

 

Supported software

Currently ISPmanager Lite supports the following FTP-servers:

  • ProFTPd;
  • Pure-FTPd;
  • vsFTPd. vsFTPd-server >= 3.0. is supported Earlier versions do not allow users to write into the root directory if its chroot-environment.

ISPmanager Business supports ProFTPd.

New features

The main difference is support for virtual FTP-users, i.e. FTP access is provided to multiple users without the need to create real users. Moreover, ftp-users will manage the server with the privileges of their owner and can access directories with set privileges.

Control panel's super users and administrators can manage ftp-users.

Configuration

You may manage any supported FTP-server using the software applications (packets). We do not recommend that you install and configure those packets manually, as it may cause malfunctioning of the control panel or security problems.

Once the FTP-server is installed, the special FTP parameter will be added into the configuration file specifying the module name and virtual users storage type.

Note
When installing the FTP server, ISPmanager does not configure the TLS connection.

ProFTPd

Once this packet is installed, the following parameter will be specified into the configuration file:

 path proftpd.conf <path>
