Re: question on "upload" directive in /etc/ftpaccess

I tried compiling wuftp with Large file enable but it didn't work - I am
using gcc - i can't seem to get the version right now because there is some
kind of routing problem to telnet - I changed the flags like this:

echo "$as_me:1637: result: $ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu" >&5

echo "${ECHO_T}$ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu" >&6

GCC=`test $ac_compiler_gnu = yes && echo yes`

ac_test_CFLAGS=${CFLAGS+set}

ac_save_CFLAGS=$CFLAGS

CFLAGS="-g -m64"



cho "$as_me:1680: result: $ac_cv_prog_cc_g" >&5

echo "${ECHO_T}$ac_cv_prog_cc_g" >&6

if test "$ac_test_CFLAGS" = set; then

  CFLAGS=$ac_save_CFLAGS

elif test $ac_cv_prog_cc_g = yes; then

  if test "$GCC" = yes; then

    CFLAGS="-g -O2 -m64"

  else

    CFLAGS="-g"



    but i still get a broken pipe trying to transfer a large file -
    couldn't anyone tell me what i didn't do right - this is for
    Solaris...Kaysee

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could please explain the behaviour I am noticing
with the "upload" directive in the /etc/ftpaccess file.

I am using washington ftp version 2.6.2 on Solaris 8.

I have the following directives in my ftpaccess file:

        guestuser *
        guest-root /user

users have their home directory one level below /user (such as
"/user/homedir").

I wish to have the following behaviour controlled by the "upload" directive
in ftpaccess:

        - users are not allowed to upload to the following directories:
                /user
                /user/bin
                /user/etc
                /user/public
        - users are allowed to upload to all other directories underneath
/user
        - all uploaded files must be owned by "ftpuser" and "ftpgroup" with
permission 666

I initially thought that the directives should be as follows:

        upload        /user        *        no
        upload        /user        /public        no
        upload        /user        /*        yes ftpuser ftpgroup 0666
nodirs

but that didn't work.

I tried the following directives (after reading
http://www.wu-ftpd.org/HOWTO/upload.configuration.HOWTO):

        upload        /user/* /         no
        upload        /user/* /bin      no
        upload        /user/* /etc      no
        upload        /user/* /public   no
        upload        /user/* /*        yes ftpuser ftpgroup 0666 nodirs

which worked, with the exception that users could upload to /user.

My Questions:
        - why do the wildcards seem to be required in the "<root-dir>"
field for guest users?
        - how do I match the contents of a directory, without matching the
directory itself?

I tried changing the last 'upload' directive to the following (without
success):

        upload /user/* /[a-z]* yes ftpuser ftpgroup 0666 nodirs
        upload /user/*/* / yes ftpuser ftpgroup 0666 nodirs

I also tried specifying the /user directory explicitly (with no success) as
follows:

        upload        /user/*        .        no

I have looked through the mail list archives, surfed the net, and can't
find anything to help me.

Any help would greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron

ps.  I can't seem to find *any* 2005 emails for this list (I've just
subscribed).  Direct emails would be appreciated
to let me know it has been received.  I will summarise responses and post
to the list.

Thanks again.
