Template: oftpd/enable_oftpd
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Do you want oftpd set up to start at boot-time?
This option lets you decide whether you want oftpd to be configured to
start automatically whenever you reboot.
Template: oftpd/option_menu
Type: select
_Choices: User to run the server as, Directory to serve, Port to listen on, Interface to listen on, Max number of connections, Exit
Default: Exit
_Description: Choose a menu item to configure
This menu lets you configure various parameters to pass to oftpd. Each
one contains a better description of its purpose, so select each one to
find out more. If you don't want to set it, leave the default value.
Template: oftpd/which_user
Type: string
Default: oftpd
_Description: What user would you like oftpd to run as?
Oftpd is capable of running as a normal system user, this decreases the
security risk from any possible security flaws in the program.
Template: oftpd/user_does_not_exist
Type: note
_Description: That user does not exist
You have selected a user which does not exist. Please enter in another
username, or 'oftpd' for the default.
Template: oftpd/which_dir
Type: string
Default: /home/oftpd
_Description: From what directory will oftpd serve files?
Oftpd is a file server, and it needs to know from what directory in the
file system it will serve files from. To all users of the FTP service, it
will appear as if that directory and its contents were the only available
files and directories on your system.
.
Note that oftpd runs chroot'd to this directory as well, this helps
decrease security risks in the possibility of a breach.
Template: oftpd/which_port
Type: string
Default: 21
_Description: Which TCP port will oftpd listen on?
Oftpd is a TCP/IP network server, which means that it needs to know what
TCP port to listen for connections on. Port 21 is the standard FTP server
port, and is highly recommended if oftpd is to be your main FTP server.
Any other port may be chosen as well, perhaps for personal use or other
reason.
Template: oftpd/which_iface
Type: string
Default: 0.0.0.0
_Description: Which interface will oftpd listen on?
A machine may have one or multiple network interfaces. Interfaces include
loopback (127.0.0.1), ethernet, PPP connections over modems, wireless
networking, and many more. To have oftpd only listen on one of those
interfaces, enter the IP address of that interface (for example, to have
oftpd only be available to local users, make it listen to the interface
'127.0.0.1'). The default value is '0.0.0.0' which means to listen to all
interfaces.
Template: oftpd/max_conn
Type: string
Default: 250
_Description: What shall be the maximum number of users allowed at once?
Oftpd can limit the maximum number of users logged into your FTP server,
from 1 to 300. The default is 250.
Template: oftpd/log_file_msg
Type: note
_Description: Oftpd will be logging to the FTP syslog facility
This means that you should make sure that there is a line that looks like:
.
ftp.* -/var/log/ftp.log
.
In your /etc/syslog.conf file, if you are running sysklogd. Consult your
documentation if using syslog-ng, msyslog, or others. Then all the logging
from oftpd will be sent to the file /var/log/ftp.log. If you do not do
this, then the output will probably end up scattered throughout
/var/log/debug. If this has already been set in your syslog
configuration, then modify it to suit your tastes.
