@Mercredi:

there is no way to easily install the pure-ftpd package from the past? i'm not very good in unix… with this output i have nothing to do:

pkg_add -r pure-ftpd

If you defined call upload script in pure-ftpd config
define corresponding vars in rc.conf
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.

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.

I mean can i install package allready created for pfsense without XMLRPC?

okay, i decided to setup a test machine for the HEAD behind my working firewall and test it. thank you for not letting me to install pureftpd-pfsense-package :)

[Mercredi]

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?

[hoba]

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

[Mercredi]

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?

[hoba]

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

[Mercredi]

any download cost for me real money :) 1mb = $0.05
so it's better for me to download what i really need.

[hoba]

Then download the full iso.

thank you very much!
