Hey Folks, I'm looking at the instructions of using ftp with proftpd. There is a section talking about extending it to use sftp. However, the sample config isn't comprehensive. I'm wondering if anyone has a working config for reference? What's the setting of user and group? It says it should match the one in the SQLNamedQuery, what does it mean exactly? I start proftpd as root, but start galaxy as bioinfoadmin(normal user with sudo). Just fyi, my proftpd config module and config file are pasted below. I'm working it out on a trial and error fashion, please feel free to point out if anything is wrong! Cheers, Rui modules: $ sbin/proftpd -l Compiled-in modules: mod_core.c mod_xfer.c mod_rlimit.c mod_auth_unix.c mod_auth.c mod_ls.c mod_log.c mod_site.c mod_delay.c mod_facts.c mod_sql.c mod_sql_postgres.c mod_sql_passwd.c mod_sftp.c mod_cap.c etc/proftpd.conf ServerType standalone # You must put this in a virtual host if you want it to listen on its own port.
