      @DanielSHaischt:

      FreeNAS ships with support for wzdftpd. PureFTPd sucks big time (TM). PureFTPd isn't actively maintained anyway (last release from February 20, 2006). As Hoba already pointed out, the FreeNAS package only works if using pfSense HEAD (i.e. the development version of pfSense). Beside FTP support, you'll also get support for Samba, NFS, and Netatalk.

      Btw, I can't even find PureFTPd in the FreeBSD ports collection -> http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=pureftp&stype=all …

      Regards

      It's there:

      pwd

      /usr/ports/ftp

      ls | grep pure

      pure-ftpd

        Or check here http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=pure-ftpd&stype=all

        We use it on a few servers and works extremely well. It also supports virtual users and via virtual chroot it supports using soft-linked files or directories, very useful for allow access to specific items on a per-user basis.

        It hasn't been updated because it hasn't had any new vulnerabilities.

          wzdftpd supports virtual users (RDBMS backed) users as well. Regarding PureFTPd IIRC there were several security flaws. Anyway - You can install the pure-ftpd package at any time from the command line using```
          pkg_add -r pure-ftpd

            Without it pure-ftpd will not listen tcp socket - see

              No there is not.  We do not advocate running a FTP server on your firewall.

                In fact, such things are generally discouraged as they fly in the face of security best practices.

                  Okay I think the error message is pretty clear about what went wrong - The install binary is missing. Either copy the install binary from a FreeBSD 6.2 system or try to consider to install the FTP server on a dedicated machine.

                      couldnt sync my test machine to HEAD. it was doing "dev bootstrap" all night and there is no changes.
                      i have spent large amount of internet trafic for this… can anybody compile latest .iso of HEAD for me?

                        Our buildserver does all kind of builds automatically all the time: http://snapshots.pfsense.com/ Just browse to the directory of your choice and love it  ;D

                          where have you been before? sullrich says there is no head image, that everybody build and compile its own head iso :)

                          can i update my 1.0.1-snapshot 01-07-2007 with the head update .tgz? or its even better to make a fresh install?

                            I would recommend a fresh install but you can try an upgrade too. If it doesn't work you have to do the fresh install anyway  ;D

                                Then download the full iso.
