proftpd setup on new debian install

[andrewm659]

I just installed ProFTPd on Debian Lenny 5.0.1, and when trying to connect to it using Filezilla from windows, it goes 90% through the login process, and then says login incorrect...its not sending anything to the log files...

You need to create at least a <global> section. Where you define the parameters. You must set up a directory where the ftp stores files, must create a user who can log in to the server and you need to set up this.
<limit> directive only usable in <global> and <anonymous> sections.

But you can find many tutorial on the net or you can install the proftpd-doc package , in the second case you will find it in /usr/share/doc/proftpd.

This is going to be setup for a multi-user setup. Almost all users will be setup as chroot/jailed. Documentation is good...but need not always helpful.
