Inetd listens for connections on certain sockets. When a connection is found on one of its sockets, it decides what service the socket corresponds to, and invokes a program to service the request. The server program is invoked with the service socket as its standard input, output and error descriptors.

Essentially, inetd allows running one daemon to invoke several others [Read more…]

Show hidden files in proftpd

January 31, 2011 by Igor Drobot Leave a Comment

If you can’t see hidden files in proftpd ( files with a .(dot), like .htaccess), you can force the files to be displayed in almost all clients with a server wide variable in your proftpd.conf:

Chnge to -a if exists already or add to the bottom:

1
ListOptions -a

ListOptions -a

Restart proftpd and reconnect.

FTP over IPv6

September 4, 2010 by Igor Drobot Leave a Comment

The standard ftp command/client does not support IPv6 resolution.

A very powerful IPv6 ftp client alternative is lftp.

id@acer:~$ lftp ipv6.idrobot.net
lftp ipv6.idrobot.net:~> dir
-rw-r--r--   1 ftp      ftp             0 Aug 26 17:28 test.txt

id@acer:~$ lftp ipv6.idrobot.net lftp ipv6.idrobot.net:~> dir -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 0 Aug 26 17:28 test.txt

And of course Firefox does FTP over IPv6:
ftp://ipv6.idrobot.net OR ftp://[2a01:4f8:131:51e2::10]
