Install/Upgrade ProFTPd

Luigi Ramone | 15 December, 2005 21:22

Ensim
I'm not going to handle Ensim again since gpan made a nice Howto on this issue and even created
rpms for your usage all information can be found here.
After installing it you can also do the proftpd.conf tweak but you have todo pico -w /etc/proftpd.conf
note:
1. that i can't give any support on the rpm made by gpan, so that will have to go through him.
2. Mouse is against upgrading your ProFTPd on Ensim when you run a up to date 3.1.x and 3.5.x

Plesk
Nighthawk just said to me that this is actually a bad idea for Plesk.
Nighthawk has years of experience with Plesk so i fully support what he's saying about Plesk whatsoever .
So your officially warned by me and NightHawk so dont do this howto on your system.
You will destroy it otherwise but you can do the proftpd.conf tweak without a problem, so just skip most of this how-to and usage pico -w /etc/proftpd.conf instead just like Ensim.



Plain i didn't test this on cPanel but it needs to be able to run this as well, as far as i know

First we login to the machine through SSH.
We become superuser... we all know su - or sudo su does the trick.

Now we are going todo stuff


wget ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/sourc...pd-1.2.9.tar.gz


Now after recieving the tarball, we will extract it


tar -zxvf proftpd-1.2.9tar.gz


Now we move to the folder we just extracted


cd proftpd1.2.9


Now we need to configure ProFTPd


./configure --prefix=/usr/local/proftpd


Now we make the configure we just made.


make


Finally were going to install whatever we just made.


make install


-----------------------------------
ProFTPd 1.2.9 is now installed on your system. he four lines below are certain security measures that can be taken to hide the identity of ProFTPd.*These are optional, but recommended*


Now lets edit proftpd.conf

pico -w /usr/local/proftpd/etc/proftpd.conf

We add a line above ServerName

ServerIdent Off


Now we want to input a servername

ServerName "FTP Server" or put something else instead whatever you like
-----------------------------------

Stop your old ProFTPd (remember you have 2 proftpds now both old as new)

service proftpd stop or killall -9 proftpd


Start Your new ProFTPd

/usr/local/proftpd/sbin/proftpd


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All done, you should now have a successfully upgraded/installed proftpd configuration.

Small tip: if you want to loose your old proftpd after upgrade rpm remove it.
