RE: Question on PURE-FTP

When you talk about normal and secure only two things come to mind.

Normal: no encryption
Secure: with encryption

Depending on how you have compiled PURE-FTPD you will have:

a) SSL/TLS encryption layer disabled (default)
b) accepts both none encrypted and encrypted sessions
c) only accepts SSL/TLS sessions

from what you have mentioned, you may have compiled PURE-FTPD with (--with-tls)

and you are running PURE-FTPD with (--tls=2)

if this is so, you can fix the problem by running PURE-FTPD with --tls=1 or 0 (http://www.pureftpd.org/README.TLS for more info)

or if you are running PURE-FTPD with the config file (/usr/local/etc/pure-ftpd.config)
Scroll down, and change the 
TLS 		2
to
TLS		0 or 1 (review the above page)

I hope that helped, I was unclear as to what you meant by normal I only assumed you meant this.

Hi Folks,

First of all, thanks for the reply.

I got the PURE-FTPD set up and somebody told me that one of our devices only
supports "normal" login and file transfer vs the "secure" way. So unless I
could find a way to change the PURE-FTPD to "normal" category, I would not
be able to continue my work with the PURE-FTPD. 

(I've sent out email to the person who used the terms and haven't got reply
yet. Here is the excerpt which the "normal" and "secure" categories were
first mentioned: "The login and file transfer is divided into two categories
..secure and normal.")

Please let me know if this helps to clarify.

I'm going through RFC959 to see if the document can shed some light.

Thanks again for the help.


Jim
