The above wont work.  Use the "at trick" if you want to run proftpd
manually:

ProFTPD

[Tim Bedding]

Hello. I am trying to get the FTP server running on
a Windows XP machine.

I installed the proftpd package and looked for a document
describing how to get things going quickly.

I found README.cygwin but it referred to cygrunsrv and
"net stop proftpd" which may correspond to packages which are
not installed. I have no inetd.conf file and proftpd is
not in /usr/local/sbin.


Has anyone written a simple README describing how to get started
after installing the Cygwin base and then the proftpd package,
assuming minimal knowledge of Cygwin?

Regards
Tim

Re: proftpd

[GDN_Cygwin]

Here is how you do it:

1) Modify the /etc/proftpd.conf file to have the following:

ServerType	inetd

Then modify your ftp line in your /etc/inetd.conf file:

ftp   stream   ftp   nowait   root /usr/sbin/in.proftpd in.proftpd

Then restart your inetd daemon.  If you did not startup the process you 
will need to do this:

Startup the inetd service

cygrunsrv -I inetd -d "CYGWIN inetd" -p /usr/sbin/inetd -a -d -e CYGWIN=ntsec
cygrunsrv -S inetd 

If it still does not run check the /var/log/messages to see what errors 
you have trying to connect to the ftp server.  Most likely the 
/etc/proftpd.conf file needs to be modified.

Enjoy,
Russell

 To me this indicates problems with user authentication.

That is the contents of "/etc/group" and|or "/etc/passwd" files
or something else that is related to those.

 To be able to tell - more information is needed. (Please do read
www.cygwin.com/problems.html for instructions)
 i.e. _attach_ the output of "cygcheck -svr" to an email and send it here.

Re: proftpd

[Gerrit P. Haase]

Hallo Hannu,

If you really need an ftpd for Win98, there are the inetutils,
already available for Cygwin, included is also the ftpd.

BTW, it should be no problem to get it running without thew ntsec
features, but that is not what I want, if you really want to use
Win98 to setup FTP service for the internet freaks, then you're
lost...

NT gives you a little more security (well, I hope so).

Go and build Proftpd, just remove the wrong #ifdef __CYGWIN__ code
and write your password (encrypted) into your /etc/passwd file and
you have proftpd running on Cygwin/Win98.  Since it builds already
without problems, I'll focus now to get NTSEC up and running too.

As I said, there's probably a check (call to crypt() somewhere.  The
right way to do it is to leave it alone on 9x/Me (which therefore is
no problem to support here, btw.) and to call that NT stuff on NT systems.
That can't be too much of a problem...

 That is true escapism. 8-I

 There still is some VERY useful software out there that *DOES NOT work* on
NT/2K.

 I've seen such software; the education I'm finishing have included the use
of such software on several occasions. As it seems now I will most likely
meet more of the same in my future work.

 One can wish... but real life situations doesn't change *that* fast.

I fooled myself, I entered my encrypted password into my passwd file at the

I don't need it for Win98.  Windows 98 is a dead cow...

I configured with additional options and now I can login too.
