Hi Jak, thank you for the feedback. May I ask you about the ftp client you were using? 
It seems to normal the server refuses to upload a file into Disk.info (which is obviously not a directory). We noticed that some ftp client are considering links (note that since some time now under AmigaOS Ram:Disk.info is implemented as a link to ENVARC:Sys/Disk.info) as if there were directories which is a flaw on the client side not the server side.

I take back the last comment. If I upload a file to a subdirectory, the file appears to the root directory and there is no error message.

Hi, 
Downloading from the Amiga server works fine but I can't upload anything. It seems that there is a path problem. When I try to upload file "test.txt" to the server's root directory, I get the following error message: 
 
Access denied 
553 Can't create "/Disk.info/test.txt" 
 
For some reason the ftp client program tries to upload the file to the nonexistent "Disk.info" directory and not to the root directory. 
 
It doesn't matter if I try to upload the file to the root directory or any of the existing subdirectories, the error message is the same.

With version 2.1, in DOS prefs you must enable "*" in patterns for the directory listing to work.

Don't miss these points when configuring: 
- default settings reference FTPUsers as PROGDIR:serv/FTPUsers, if you put Ftpd in a different drawer than FtpdPrefs, replace PROGDIR: whith an absolute path 
- welcome message and message of the day lines must be prefixed with "220-" and "230-" as in the default settings

The archive doesn't include a file name ftpd.conf!

wenn der FTP-Client den passive-Modus zum Datentransfer benutzt, dann 
funktioniert der FTPdaemon nicht. 
 
Kann man dieses irgendwie ermoeglichen? Mit PetesFTP kann man wohl nicht von 
aktiv auf passiv umstellen. 
 
danke,

Yes I choosed DEVS:Internet because it's OS4 standard. And AmiTCP: assign is not 
required at all now (it was in the very first version I released because of an 
error of mine when packaging).

I understand, you had to pick a location which is standard in OS4. 
No worries. With BinEdit help I made it look for the config in AmiTCP:db again 
:-)

There is no hardcoded value that can't be changed by configuring the software. 
Except DEVS:Internet/ftpd.conf all other files can be configured by modifying 
the ftpd.conf file. Using the default ftpd.conf file FTPUser will be searched 
from DEVS:Internet/.

Arghh, this one has Devs:Internet and RAM:FTPUsers hard-coded in, but I store 
everything in AmiTCP:db and serv, to keep 3rd party stuff separate from RoadShow 
:-P 
 
Can't change it myself as it won't compile: 
ftp.h:32: error: syntax error before 'va_list'

I guess it got updated between my download and the time I posted the comment... 
 
2.01 is 97k and has the version string

@AlexC 
are you sure you are using this latest version 2.01 ?

The version string is missing, it seems to have been optimized away, there's a 
section full of 0's where the version and error messages should be as can be 
seen in the ftpd.debug file. 
 
So I used 'strip -R.comment' on the debug one and got it down to 96k.

Even if the crash was due to you not installing it correctly (for example) it's 
interesting : it should not have crashed at all...

it was related to me having had 2 beers and the stupidity that goes with it. =)

Was the problem really not related to ftpd ?
