There are little resources to be found on this topic so I'll try it here.

The VPS concerned has a free (status) IPv6 address which I'd first like to bind to pure-ftpd, and when it works remove the IPv4 address and only allow connections from the IPv6 address.

I found the /etc/pure-ftpd.conf file. Here you have the '#Bind' line. Should I uncomment it and set it to:
Bind 2a06:7c3:abb6:5d1::1,21 ? How do i also add the IPv4a the current address?

And how would the user connect? Entering the IPv6 in a client like Filezilla doesn't seem to work, so I'd setup an AAAA record and they'd connect via host name?

Thanks!
 
There usually there is no deep documentation on the sever components used aka Apache, Nginx, php, and so on. It mostly just this is how da configures it. You are just expected to either know how said item works or go on the main documentation website for said item.


You would need to go to PureFTP documentation and figure that out. Once you cover that and or search all over for it. Come back and make a how to.
