Hi Pedram,

Thanks for the info.

But I still have some questions:

1. By reading http://www.pureftpd.org/README.TLS, it seems that =
PURE-FTPD
will disable the SSL/TLS by default i.e. my system should NOT have =
SSL/TLS
enabled (to the best of my knowledge) unless specifically done by =
someone.

2. Even with --tls=3D1/2 added, but without the SSL security =
certificate,
SSL/TLS should not be able to function as designed i.e. the PURE-FTPD =
will
function as non-secured.

3. With 1) and 2) being ruled out (is my assumption correct?), why =
couldn't
PURE-FTPD download the file that I was expecting? Do I miss the =
directory
path for the PURE-FTPD to locate the file? The config file doesn't =
include
this info. Is /var/ftp the default FTP directory for PURE-FTPD?

I've attached the PURE-FTPD config file, please take a look if I missed
anything.

Many thanks.

Jim
