      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

          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
