Pure-FTPd

I am writing this Pure-FTPd installation manual because, i think, its very usefull and easy to own it. So firstly download package from the internet.
Secondly untar with command:
tar -xzvf pure-ftpd-xx.xx.tar.gz
Now read README or INSTALL documents, i think installation is similar, just write in command line:
./configure then make (if no errors) and finally make install (with root - super user)

To start/stop/restart daemon, just write:
/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start/stop/restart

Now if you want to create ftp user, write this line:
pure-pw useradd new-user -u ftp -g ftp -d /home/ftp/new-user -N 100
Before you do this, you have to create ftp user and ftp group
groupadd ftp
useradd -g ftp -d /dev/null -s /etc ftp

-N option means, how many space you will give to ftp user. -N 100 means that you gave 100MB.

Dont forget to update DB, write:
pure-pw mkdb

To view ftp users list:
pure-pw list

To change user password:
pure-pw passwd new-user

After changing user password, dont forget to update DB:
pure-pw mkdb
