This module allows you to configure the Pure-FTPd server installed on your system, set the virtual users' rights and monitor ftp sessions.

With this webmin module ou can modify the Pure-FTPd users database usually called /etc/pureftpd.passwd This users database allows the server to have virtual users differents from the system accounts users. Do verify that the -lpuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb option is set in your Xinetd configuration. You can modify your Xinetd configuration using the "Pure-FTPd configuration" panel of this module. And verify that your Pure-FTPd program has been compiled with ./configure --with-puredb otherwise the Virtual users feature is not avalaible through the Pure-FTPd server.

If not using the Virtual users feature, users with accounts on your system can login to the FTP server and access their files using client programs. You can also setup a public FTP server to which anonymous users are allowed read-only or read-write access to a limited subset of files on your system.

The main page of this module shows a table of icons, one for each category of configurable options. If your system runs Pure-FTPd from Xinetd as most do, any changes you make will take effect immediately for new FTP sessions. There is a button at the bottom of the page allowing you to restart Xinetd after changing the Xinetd configuration.

The Pure-FTPd monitor panel only works if you had compiled your Pure-FTPd program with ./configure --with-ftpwho as it uses the pure-ftpwho script to display the user's sessions.
