Re: [webmin-l] FTP Access

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

You should check to make sure the FTP server is actually running on
your system, and start it if not. This is best done in the Bootup and
Shutdown module, or the ProFTPD server module.

Generally no ProFTPd configuration is needed, unless you want to have
separate per-domain anonymous FTP servers (which are rarely used). The
standard out-of-the-box config will allow domain owners to FTP in.
