fxp

how would i enable fxp so i can transfer my html data to my new server. i really need fxp please help


Thanks in advance Mobile

"By default, ProFTPD does not allow such site-to-site transfers, for by allowing them, the server also allows a type of attack known as the "FTP bounce" attack."

Here is some info on how to enable FXP transfers:

http://www.proftpd.org/docs/directives/linked/config_ref_AllowForeignAddress.html

Basically, you want to change:

AllowForeignAddress off

to

AllowForeignAddress on

in /etc/proftpd.conf

alright, we'll use vi:

vi /etc/proftpd.conf

# use arrow keys to scroll into the <Global> section.

# press 'i' to enter the "insert" mode, and type

AllowForeignAddress on

# to give you the following:

<Global>
AllowForeignAddress on
DeferWelcome on
RequireValidShell no
DefaultRoot ~
....

# press ctrl-c to escape "insert" mode, then press shift-Z twice to save and quit.

service proftpd restart

# to restart proftpd.
