Create a single account for ftp and shell?

Question

linux

I want to create on the server (Ubuntu 10.10) several users who can connect via ssh and ftp under their login (the proftpd server is running). In general, to have 1 account for ftp and shell for all users.
There are probably a lot of articles on this subject. But I still can’t ask Google correctly to give me the necessary resources

Answer 1

take filezilla , specify ssh access, port 22 and voila! sftp!

Answer 2

I completely abandoned ftp in favor of sftp
Each user in his own directory, in this directory the webserver and logs, the webserver works from the user's account

Answer 3

debian.pro/72 if proftpd was chosen out of the blue.

Answer 4

Yes, as an option to use SFTP, if you need exactly ftp and just under proftpd, then you can read www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/README.PAM.html

Answer 5

If you need each user to have their own account and go under it via ssh and ftp, then you need to smoke in the direction of proftpd + pam, I suspect you have proftpd + mysql. We configure proftpd for pam authorization, then system users will be able to access their home directories via ftp, if you need to give not ~/, but one directory for everyone via ftp, then there are a lot of options, you can, for example, change the home directory to the desired one in the proftpd config, at the same time to replace UID and GID, and to steer by the rights by means of ACL proftpd.
