View source for Proftpd with Openssl and virtual users

For detailed info, look here&nbsp;[http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=3499&p=16283 http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&amp;t=3499&amp;p=16283] and here [http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=2851&p=16280 viewtopic.php?f=90&amp;t=2851&amp;p=16280] 

This is how I did it... 

= First install Optware/ IPKG<br>  =

You need Optware/IPKG<br> 

#a. Go to administration web login and go to Applications - QPKG Center and install Optware, also read [http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/Install_Optware_IPKG http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/Install_Optware_IPKG] 
#b. Don't forget to enable Optware in administration web login - Applications - QPKG Center (click 'Enable' ) after installation and then restart the NAS. If you have not restarted, you need at least to do

<code>PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin</code><br> 

<br> 

= Installing stuff  =

First I go to a temp folder (so the littering files stays here) 

<code>mkdir /opt/temp<br> cd /opt/temp </code> 

<br> 

Install (to install perl, you can also do like this http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/Perl_5.8.8_Installation ) 

<code>/opt/bin/ipkg update<br> /opt/bin/ipkg install proftpd<br> /opt/bin/ipkg install perl </code> 

<br> 

= Get ftpasswd<br>  =

From the source (I did this), find your favorite downloading/mirror site here&nbsp;http://www.proftpd.org/ or download from&nbsp;[ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/source/ ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/source/]&nbsp;: 

<code>cd /opt/temp<br> wget ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/ftp.proftpd.net/devel/source/proftpd-cvs-20080226.tar.gz<br> tar xvfz proftpd-cvs-20080226.tar.gz<br> cp /opt/temp/proftpd-cvs-20080226/contrib/ftpasswd /opt/bin/<br> rm proftpd-cvs-20080226* -r</code> 

<br>Or maybe you prefer to get it from castaglia.org? I guess you could do like this: 

<code>cd /opt/bin/<br> wget http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/contrib/ftpasswd<br> chmod 700 ftpasswd</code> 

<br>If you installed perl with ipkg, open ftpasswd and change it with (if you installed with http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/Perl_5.8.8_Installation, you don't need to change it): 

<br> <code>vi /opt/bin/ftpasswd</code> 

<br>From: 

<code>#!/usr/bin/perl</code> 

<br>To: 

<code>#!/opt/bin/perl</code> <br> 

<br> 

= Make one virtual user to test with  =

<br><code>mkdir /home/proftpusers<br> mkdir /home/proftpusers/bob<br> cd /opt/etc/ftpd<br> /opt/bin/ftpasswd --passwd --name=bob --uid=1001 --home=/home/proftpusers/bob --shell=/bin/false</code> 

<br> 

<br> 

= Openssl  =

<br><code>mkdir /opt/etc/openssl<br> chmod 600 /opt/etc/openssl<br> cd /opt/etc/openssl<br> touch sign.sh<br> vi sign.sh</code><br> 

I paste this into sign.sh:<br>

= Setup proftpd  =

Create a user to run proftpd 

<code>addgroup nogroup<br> adduser -h /home/proftpusers/ -G nogroup -s /bin/false proftpduser</code>

Change it to this:<br>

</pre> 
Say you have a dir called 'uploads', where you like them to be able to upload files. Add this code just above &lt;/Global&gt;<br> 
<pre>    # An upload directory that allows storing files but not retrieving
    # or creating directories.
    &lt;Limit WRITE&gt;
          DenyAll
    &lt;/Limit&gt;
    &lt;Directory /home/proftpusers/uploads/*&gt;
    &lt;Limit READ&gt;
    DenyAll
    &lt;/Limit&gt;
    &lt;Limit STOR&gt;
    AllowAll
    &lt;/Limit&gt;
    &lt;/Directory&gt;

</pre> 
<br> 

If you get disconnection problems with your FTP client, as an example say you want to copy several files but after the first file the other files don't get copied. And you need to close and restart the client to continue and in your TLS log you see something like this: 
<pre>Apr 18 05:27:33 mod_tls/2.4.3[12797]: client did not reuse SSL session, rejecting data connection (see the NoSessionReuseRequired TLSOptions parameter)
</pre> 


Then you can try to add 
<pre>TLSOptions NoSessionReuseRequired</pre> 
inside of 
<pre>&lt;IfModule mod_tls.c&gt;
...
&lt;/IfModule&gt;</pre> 
<br> 

Don't forget: 

*Pathnames in &lt;Directory ...&gt; must always be absolute (except inside &lt;Anonymous&gt;), and should not reference symbolic links 
*You may need to do a 'chmod 777' on the directory for this to work (dirs where you don't want 'them' to write you can have chmod 755) 
*After a change in proftpd.conf, restart proftpd ('ps' -&gt; check the PID -&gt; 'kill &lt;pid&gt;' -&gt; '/opt/sbin/proftpd &amp;'<br>
