[confused]

Hi, Anyone know how do I can install a second ftp dameon?

I'm currently using wu_ftpd

[JTY]

Are you refering to virtual ftp? If so, then i'd recommend switching to proftpd http://www.proftpd.net/

Also, not sure if you want to add another daemon in addition to the one you have, but if you did, use a different port so that they can be running concurrently.

Hello Wein Bar,

I to add another daemon in addition to the one I have. I do not wish to use another port.. I want it to run on... port 21 but use a different passwd and shadow... It is possible to do that?

[webfors]

Unless they run on different ports, it's not possible.
Both daemons would be listening on the same port, hence I can't see how that would work.

[MSW]

Yes, they need to be on different ports. If they were on the same port, there would be no way to run concurrently, Neither service would have precedence.

What you can do is to have 1 daemon running on port 21, and assign different directories and priviledges to each user based on login. Find the daemon that offers the best solution for you and use that one across the board, or.. if you are in dire needs to do so .. use 2 daemons on different ports.

Hope this helps.

Thank YOu for your reply, they do support alots and now I know I can't use on the same port. It is possible for me to run, two passwd or shadow on one wu_ftp? like passwd2 and shadow2?

Check the Linux Virtual Services How to. Which you can find at http://www.linuxdoc.org/

You should give ncftpd a try as well. Its worked like a gem for me so far.

Cheers
