Hello Everyone! :)

Can someone please help me?

The roblem is that when I try to ftp into my servr I click connect and it takes like 10 seconds and then connects. If I can remember correctly, I think that has something to dow tih hostname lookups. I woudl like disable the hostname looks on Proftpd. But im not sure how to do it since im using Ensim. Can someone please tell me how to preform this?

Also, Can someone lead me in the direction of changing the login message for Proftpd?


Thanks Everyone!

The settings should be in your proftpd.conf file. I'm not 100% sure where that would be located under Ensim.

I believe the directive you are looking for is UseReverseDNS (http://www.proftpd.org/docs/directives/linked/config_ref_UseReverseDNS.html) to turn off the reverse DNS lookup.

DisplayConnect (http://www.proftpd.org/docs/directives/linked/config_ref_DisplayConnect.html) sets the info to show when you connect to the FTP server.

I had the same problem. I just put:

UseReverseDNS off
IdentLookups off


into my proftpd.conf and it worked.

Thanks,

That worked

Now i just mneed to get the message up for ftp banner.

I was just going to let everyone know that I got the banner message to work.

Thanks so much...:)

g333,

Mind sharing how you did the banner? Others might be interested.

I went into the /etc/proftpd.conf file and went in and added:

DisplayConnect /etc/ftpmessage

I saved the file and exited it. Of course I had to create the /etc/ftpmessage file with the text I wanted Proftpd to display before login.

Restarted proftpd and it works! I think the way you can add the banner is really neat.

Thanks,
