Hello Bitfolkers,

Just to let you know that after a re-install everything went spiffingly!

Thanks Andy and the rest of you for your knd help.

No mail would be complete without a question:

I've installed Proftpd (from SSH! Hee hee, no more webmin for me!)

In the proftpd.conf it says:

# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
User                proftpd
Group                nogroup

So I created a user ludo1960 and gave him a password and made him a member of the group nogroup.

In the /var/www folder I created an .ftpaccess file:

<Limit APPE DELE MKD RMD RNTO STOR XMKD XRMD>
DenyAll
AllowUser ludo1960
</Limit>

From filezilla I tried to connect to the server and directory mentioned, but error 503 cannot connect!

Hmmm, is it an permissions thing?

Any ideas anybody?

Cheers,

Cliff....
