Title: ftp server ?
Post by: imaad on August 08, 2014, 11:42:56 AM
Hi,
Can anyone inform me where can I find a ftp server? I read that people use vsftpd programme but I can't find it in the browser application.
Thank you

For those who want to transfer files it's possible overt  SFTP which is include on OpenSSH (it's the same chose like ftp but more secured).  ;D

Filezilla?

I use it in Linux/Windows and Raspbian to update PiCore files.

bmarkus, can you, please, compile an ftp module (mod_ftp) for Apache?

I understand there may be other solutions for ftp serving on PiCore, but I have a requirement to set up mod_ftp in Apache.

It doesn't build with current Apache 2.4.10 on piCore. Well, it is a 5 years or source. You can look for info at upstream forums, blogs, etc. and try to fiy it yourself. Contributions to piCore repo are welcome :)

bmarkus, thanks for the invitation to contribute - I'd love to, but I can't code :)
I'm Quality Assurance engineer with no coding experience, I can only contribute by testing and good bug reporting.

I'm not sure I understand correctly what you mean by 5 years of sourcce.
I'm talking about 'mod_ftp" from here (http://httpd.apache.org/mod_ftp).

Hi Alexey, no problem, QA is also needed :)

What I mean is that this mode was last modified 5 years ago so it is not a big supprise that do not build in current environment.

bmarkus, I understand.

So, it is impossible to compile the current version of 'mod_ftp' for PiCore because there's something wrong w/ 'mod_ftp' sources?

I've downloaded the sources of this module and took a very base look at them. Though I don't understand anything in code, I see it's MS Visual Studio project, it seem to include everything it needs.
I have no MS VS, so I can't even try to compile it myself.

I assume, something is needed to compile the module for PiCore (it's another architecture and I have no idea of what is needed for porting).
If someone can try to do it - I will test it, report and retest, so that this module can be put to PiCore repo.

As I told it doesn't build in current environment. You can Google for info, visit related Forums, etc. Probably someone knows the answer.

You can read docs how to install in the source, try to build and fix. It is a good way to learn Linux and toolchain.

Sorry to disturb again on this theme.

I have downloaded a PCLinux version of mod_ftp in following packages:
apache-mod_ftp-0.9.6-1pclos2010.i586.rpm
apache-mod_ftp-0.9.6-1pclos2013.src.rpm
apache-mod_ftp-0.9.6-1pclos2013.x86_64.rpm
Seen the sources (they say they're compiling) and was able to extract the module itself (mod_ftp.so) out of i586 package.

You mentioned a 'toolchain' - what documentation I need to try have the module for PiCore?

Thanks in advance.

Greeting Bella,

Did you ever get vsftpd into the repository? I noticed in this thread you had indicated you would add it in a few days but I could not find it.

I am trying to replace a large number of x86 devices running tinycore 3.8.4 (minus the GUI) where I used vsftpd. The rpi makes sense as the replacement hardware. I don't really want to go back and rewrite all of my applications though to use a different ftp interface.

Any place you could point me to find it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

BKM

How about for RPi 2?

What is the question?
Title: Re: ftp server ?
Post by: andyj on March 22, 2015, 11:06:34 AM
Will vsftp be available for the RPi 2 and when? bftpd is proving to be more difficult than advertised.
