[SOLVED] Limit pure-ftp signin attempts?

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, I have an ftp server using pureftp. I noticed that the server gets hundred of attempts a day like this one: Code: Dec  2 23:25:14 ftp_server_name pure-ftpd: (?@60.211.252.98) [INFO] New connection from 60.211.252.98 Dec  2 23:25:19 ftp_server_name pure-ftpd: (?@60.211.252.98) [WARNING] Authentication failed for user [Administrador] Dec  2 23:26:21 ftp_server_name pure-ftpd: last message repeated 4 times Is there a way that I can block the IP address that is attempting to sign in for a set amount of time if they fail to sign in X amount of times? Thanks, (Hardware)

I installed the pure-ftpd package (version 1.0.35-1) on an Ubuntu 12.04 box (an EC2 instance based on the standard Ubuntu 12.04 AMI).

The pure-ftpd daemon is running (verified with ps), though there is no PID file (expected one to be created by the /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd script).

Here's the resulting command that gets run by the init.d script:

/usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l pam -O clf:/var/log/pure-ftpd

Hi,

Greetings!!!!!!!

I am trying to configure Pure-ftpd with authenticated users

But after configuring its giving the following error

"pure-ftpd: (?@?) [ERROR] Unable to start a standalone server: [Invalid argument]"

Ftp is not configured using xinetd services

kindly find the configuration file /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf as the attachment

dont know what mistake i am doing but

I asked this question on here late last night about how I can get the latest PHP, MySQL, and phpmyadmin on my 32bit installation of CentOS 5.8.

I was able to get PHP and MySQL back up and running successfully. I was unable to get phpmyadmin3 working, but phpmyadmin2 is still running like a champ. That's another can of worms.

However, during the process, my pure-ftpd was removed.

Hello!

Im trying to setup an ftpserver with ssl using Pure-FTPd. I can connect to the server and all that, but the second i try to upload/download filezilla gets this error:

421 1 users (the maximum) are already logged in, sorry

I've googled like crazy but I cant find any solution to this.. I've tried setting MaxClientsNumber and MaxClientsPerIP 10 but it doesn't make a difference.

my /var/log/messages is full of messages like:

Jan 29 01:00:02 vm2147 pure-ftpd: (?@::1) [INFO] New connection from ::1 Jan 29 01:00:02 vm2147 pure-ftpd: (?@::1) [INFO] Logout. Jan 29 01:05:02 vm2147 pure-ftpd: (?@::1) [INFO] New connection from ::1 Jan 29 01:05:02 vm2147 pure-ftpd: (?@::1) [INFO] Logout.

These messages are generated every five minutes. What do they mean and is it a problem?

I'm trying to add FTP access to the apache web files, in the past I have done this with an ftpuser and group arrangement.
