FTP Server for TC
« on: July 20, 2016, 06:46:47 PM »
Hello, everyone.  :)
I spent the last 2 days trying to setup a FTP server on Tiny Core Linux without success.
My first thought was to download FileZilla from the Apps Program. This wasnt runnable, since it missed a dependency (libconv), or the one it came with was out of date. I downloaded that depencies source code but coulnt compile it because of some sort of security hole with a "gets" function, which was since deprecated and replaced by an fgets function, which isnt used in the newest version of the libconv source code. So i looked for ftp in the apps program and found bftpd.
After trying to wrap my head around this apps bullshit for 2 days, I rest my case and am sick of the endless config files and bootlocal file editng...  >:( >:(

So my question is:
Is there a FTP server application for Tiny Core Linux, which...
A) Has a GUI (Preferably at least)
B) Is compatible with the CURRENT version of Tiny Core Linux
C) Doesn't have to be built from source (if possible in ANY way)

If this doesn't exist, guess I'll use a debian based distro or just flat out use Windows or OSX (since I use a 2006 Mac Mini)  :P

iconv functions have been provided by glibc for some time now in tinycore

From the filezilla info file:
Quote
Current:        2014/03/24 Dropped libiconv dependency
..but filezilla fails to start due to missing libiconv.

The solution is to recompile filezilla against the glibc iconv functions, not add an uneccessary libiconv extension.

In the meantime, there's the bftpd (non-gui) extension...

FileZilla is an ftp client, not a server.

No servers have a GUI, that goes completely against the idea of a server...

As it turns out, there's a "Filezilla Server", complete with a nice GUI, but it's for the MS Windows platform only.  It's very nice and, yes, I use it all the time since I'm stuck with Windows.

In this case, the GUI is an administration tool, independent of the server process.  Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any command line administration tool and no way to export a config file or user list.  Windows apps are so often like that.  :(
