vsftp on SUSE10.2

[roger]

I have vsftp running and apache, etc.

I want to FTP from my XPPro laptop to my SUSE server (networked). I want to be able to FTP from Filezilla initially and then Dreamweaver.

Thing is how do I configure either vsftp and/or apache so that I can FTP to the appropriate apache directory holding my website at srv/htdocs/mysite/?

I would need to know how to FTP to other site folders on the same apache. How do I set this up

Thanks.

Another user had a similar question:

Here is how you get the vsftpd setup and running on 10.2.

First, start up your vsftpd daemon:
ehud:~ # /etc/init.d/vsftpd start
Starting vsftpd done
ehud:~ #

Next, open the firewall through YaST so external users can connect:
YaST --> Security --> Firewall --> Allowed Services --> Advanced --> TCP Port - add "21" --> OK --> Accept

Create user IDs for your external users.


If you want vsftpd to start at boot time, do this also through YaST:
YaST --> System --> System Services (Runlevel) --> vsftpd --> Enable --> Finish



I haven't used Dreamweaver for years, but you will probably have to setup the path to where your files are stored.

What ever user you log in as just needs to have read/write access to the directory that contains your files (/srv/htdocs/mysite/)

Oh yeah... and this is how to stop vsftpd:

ehud:~ # /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop
Shutting down vsftpd done
ehud:~ #
