Hi, I want to set up ProFTP to use “/” as root directory when I log via FTP client. How’s that possible? Tried to set “/” as path directory but it seems not working.
Thank you!
In
proftpd.conf
write
DefaultRoot /
.
and restart proftpd
service proftpd restart
(i think)
Yeah, when I said:
Tried to set "/" as path directory but it seems not working.
I mean that I just tried with no success. Cannot see the root of my MicroSD.
Did you try setting Proftpd as root user?
Yes, tried.
Got it working with:
DefaultRoot / root
DefaultChdir / root
set in proftpd.conf.
Never liked proftpd, ot it didn’t liked me, but i hope this is what you searched for 
Damn, worked! Thank you very much!
Hi, it seems that I don’t have write permissions. With an FTP client I get 500: Permission denied.
Did you ever resolve this? I just setup dietpi for the first time with ProFTPD.
I am able to connect from my Mac using Filezilla to Pi using user: root and pw: dietpi, but one line states “Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS.”
When I try to transfer files to Pi, I get “Response: 550 background.jpg: Permission denied. Error: Critical file transfer error after transferring 262,144 bytes in 1 second”
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It connects with user:dietpi pw:dietpi. What is that about?
