Adding FTP Access to a Share (BUI)
Description
The port on which FTP listens. The default is 21.
This is the maximum number of concurrent FTP
connections. Set this to cover the anticipated number
of concurrent users. By default this is 30, since each
connection creates a system process and allowing too
many (thousands) could constitute a DoS attack.
This inserts small delays during authentication to fool
attempts at user name guessing via timing measurements.
Turning this on will improve security.
The FTP login location. The default is "/" and points to
the top of the shares hierarchy. All users will be logged
into this location after successfully authenticating with
the FTP service.
The verbosity of the proftpd log.
File permissions to remove when files are created. Group
and world write are masked by default, to prevent recent
uploads from being writeable by everyone.
Description
Allow SSL/TLS encrypted FTP connections. This will
ensure that the FTP transaction is encrypted. The default
is disabled.
The port that the SSL/TLS encrypted FTP service listens
on. The default is 21.
