Hi,

i just made a big error... ive deleted proftpd.passwd file

Ive tryed to find aroun the drive if there was a backup copy but i didnt founded any...

Ive ntoice that there is a ftp.passwd file into every user backup that i have so i should exctract each line from each user ftp.passwd file

but the file backuped is like

admin=passwd=$pFNxF24yyEcOc3Qh0du2N0&path=/home/admin/&type=system

and the proftpd.passwd file is

admin:$1$4899qmK6NL7S.vKbPlaKA1:1004:1005:system:/home/admin:/bin/false

so, im sure there is a way to restore the backuped line to the proftpd.passwd line but i dunno how the restore script work on that file and i would like to restore all the backups (ive a backusp of each user so i can restore the entire file but i dont wanna restore each total user for dont have file/db restore).

can anyone help me solve this trouble with a perl line or with commands line by line or what ever..

thanks a lot to everyone who at least try ^^

Best regards
 
Oh thanks a lot that was amazing!

Yeah it worked for "basic" accounts but ofc dont work for specify users account like user2@domain user3@domain etc

but, i really wanna say thank you cause at least this solved a part of the mistake and i appreciate ^^

If anyone else have other ideas for restore all accounts should be the best solution at all

Thanks again scsi it worked perfect for the basic user ftp login
 
i was thinking right now, while checkin in detail that script... that should work for the backup files too... just need to be adapted i think...

ive no the knowledge to modify that but, if someone have and dont have something better to do.. please help ^^

Click to expand...

User backup file username.tar.gz contains backup directory.
Unpack it by executing
PHP: 
tar xvfz username.tar.gz backup
cd backup
For each domain (example.com) there will be corresponding directory containing ftp.passwd file
PHP: 
cat example.com/ftp.passwd
Hope that helps
 
hi,

i know that every backup have that file but in the first post i was asking for a script to restore the file cause is compiled in a different way then ftp.passwd.

but now is no more urgent

thanks for your reply
