How to configure edtFTP

[EDT Support]

Hi,

This version of edtFTPD uses the Windows user accounts only. In other words, you can enable/disable FTP for the existing Windows users only. The available Windows users should be listed under the Users node in the tree on the left. To enable FTP for a user, select it in the tree and then change the value of Status|Enabled to True. The directory for the user will be a subdirectory of blabla/home.

We are planning a more powerful version of edtFTPD, but, for now, this is the only way to add FTP users. Unless...

edtFTPD is based on ProFTPD, so you should be able to add users if you can figure out how to set up the configuration files (probably default.conf and/or passwd). You can find information on ProFTPD configuration in .

Hi Hans
Thank you for your answer but...
1 - in the left pane of edtManager I can see just anonymous, administrator, guest and aspnet, as users. Who they are and where they came from I really can't figure out ;-) I'm joking, in the sense that I know that these are the local (to my machine) users but my pc is in a domain and it could be useful if also the domain users would be listed there
2 - As I wrote, I tryied to configure users in the blabla/etc/passwd file (also using the blabla/bin/mkpasswd -d > blabla/etc/passwd) but...well, I'm here asking my question ;-)
Anyway, added a new user (ftptest with ftptest as password), enabled in the Manager interface but the server still answer "530 Login incorrect"...
Any hint?

Following, there's an abstract from edtftld.log

255.255.255.255 (ep350-05.marscenter.it[193.206.23.197]) - FTP session opened.
255.255.255.255 (ep350-05.marscenter.it[193.206.23.197]) - USER ftptest: Login successful.
255.255.255.255 (ep350-05.marscenter.it[193.206.23.197]) - ftptest chdir("/"): No such file or directory
255.255.255.255 (ep350-05.marscenter.it[193.206.23.197]) - FTP session
closed.

The 3rd row should be the answer to my question...but I don't understand why this happen.
Following, there's an abstract from the passwd

SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
ftptest:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1002:513:ftptest,U-EP350-05\ftptest,S-1-5-21-842925246-1202660629-839522115-1002:/edtFTPD/home/ftptest:

Hope this helps...

Hi Hans
I've seen the solution proposed: changing manually the Register, but also a "patch" to the problem.
Can you e-mail it to me or tell me how and where I can find it?
TIA
