FTP Server

The Remote package comes with an optional FTP Server for clients to use. The current FTP server uses local system accounts to allow for user login. This means that MySQL is no longer used at all; it simply allows login of normal Linux system accounts.

FTP Usernames

gpx prefix:

For users to login through FTP, they need to prefix gpx onto their username for the login. So if their username is "user123", they would login through FTP with the username "gpxuser123".

Troubleshooting

Ensure the FTP server is running:

 ps -ef | grep pure-ftpd | grep -v grep

You should only see pure-ftpd running.

Make sure no other FTP servers are running:

 sudo netstat -anp | grep :21

You should only see a pure-ftpd line.

You will also need to ensure ports 20,21 are open in your server firewall.
