Title: Advanced FTP configuration
Post by: palswim on March 05, 2010, 04:44:27 PM

I'd like to do some finer FTP configuration than the Web interface allows, but I know I can't just directly edit /etc/pure-ftpd.conf and have any changes stick after the next reboot.

Do I have any recourse other than installing an additional FTP server (vsftpd) and disabling the built-in pure-ftpd server?

Why won't the changes stick?

I don't know exactly why, but I know the file reverts to the default settings after I reboot the device.

I think there may be a shadow file that's actually in the FLASH that needs to get written back to make the changes stick.  I seem to recall there is a command to sync the RAMDISK copies to the FLASH.
