Forum:Secure file transfer

Hi, there'is a way to set user and password in ftp file transfer? since with ctorrent the SPP can be switched on all day, for me there's a problem about own file security. I've set my spp to be reached in everywhere from internet and so.... Thanks_Enrico
 * There's a file pointed at in the bftpd.config file that identifies which users can't use ftp. It's called ftpusers and just has a list of users who can't use ftp.  passwd is the file used for setting the password of any user.  You have to have the root drive mounted as read/write to change either of those.  AddUser can be used to add new users to the passwd list file. --JCoug 19:56, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi JCoug, i've seen bftpd.conf, but i don't find this file: ftpusers and password. in \\Iomega\Root\usr\local\ftp\  there are'nt this file. Can you explain better me? Thanks_Enrico
 * Let me direct you to a couple of sites. This site shows how the bftpd.config file is formatted.   And this site documents the individual lines a little better. You will have a bftpd.conf file in /usr/local/ftp and it has a PATH_FTPUSERS identifying the file /usr/local/ftp/ftpusers as the user file.  The ftpusers file does not exist, you'll create one.
 * adduser and passwd are the two commands you need to run to add users and set passwords of existing users.
 * Now that I've finished the buildroot checkin, I'll be able to focus again on the FTP programs to take care of some issues. I'll write up a page on the BFTP daemon when I get a chance. --JCoug 15:15, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, I've added the BFTP page describing general installation and how to work the users and anonymous access. Hope this helps.  It didn't require any manipulating of the ftpusers file, since if you remove the anonymous access, it won't let anybody without a password log in. --JCoug 19:53, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
