/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf – This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file.

To really apply changes, reload proftpd after modifications, if

it runs in daemon mode. It is not required in inetd/xinetd mode.

Includes DSO modules

Include /etc/proftpd/modules.conf

Set off to disable IPv6 support which is annoying on IPv4 only boxes.

UseIPv6 on

If set on you can experience a longer connection delay in many cases.

IdentLookups off

Use this to jail all users in their homes

#DefaultRoot ~

Users require a valid shell listed in /etc/shells to login.

Use this directive to release that constrain.

RequireValidShell off

Port 21 is the standard FTP port.

Port 21

In some cases you have to specify passive ports range to by-pass

firewall limitations. Ephemeral ports can be used for that, but

feel free to use a more narrow range.

PassivePorts 49152 65534

If your host was NATted, this option is useful in order to

allow passive tranfers to work. You have to use your public

address and opening the passive ports used on your firewall as well.

MasqueradeAddress 1.2.3.4

This is useful for masquerading address with dynamic IPs:

refresh any configured MasqueradeAddress directives every 8 hours

# DynMasqRefresh 28800

To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes

to 30. If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections

at once, simply increase this value. Note that this ONLY works

in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server

that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service

(such as xinetd)

MaxInstances 30

Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.

User proftpd
Group nogroup

Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new files and dirs

(second parm) from being group and world writable.

Umask 022 022

Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.

AllowOverwrite on

Uncomment this if you are using NIS or LDAP via NSS to retrieve passwords:

PersistentPasswd off

This is required to use both PAM-based authentication and local passwords

AuthOrder mod_auth_pam.c* mod_auth_unix.c

Be warned: use of this directive impacts CPU average load!

Uncomment this if you like to see progress and transfer rate with ftpwho

in downloads. That is not needed for uploads rates.

UseSendFile off

TransferLog /var/log/proftpd/xferlog
SystemLog /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log

Logging onto /var/log/lastlog is enabled but set to off by default

#UseLastlog on

In order to keep log file dates consistent after chroot, use timezone info

from /etc/localtime. If this is not set, and proftpd is configured to

#chroot (e.g. DefaultRoot or ), it will use the non-daylight

savings timezone regardless of whether DST is in effect.

#SetEnv TZ :/etc/localtime

Ce n’est pas étonnant, beaucoup de serveurs FTP interdisent la connexion avec le login root. Par défaut proftpd n’échappe pas à la règle mais a une option RootLogin on pour l’autoriser.
Voir http://www.proftpd.org/docs/directives/linked/config_ref_RootLogin.html
Mais si c’est du FTP en clair (non chiffré), alors c’est une très mauvaise idée car le mot de passe est transmis en clair sur le réseau.
