hi all,

I successfully flashed my conceptronic WLAN-NAS with V3 of the firmwares and I am now in the making of getting an FTP server run.

I am a little bit confused, because I am no linux expert and I struggle with a lot of things in order to navigate via telnet on the device.

Can please anybody give a brief step-by-step instruction on how to set up a FTP server (vsftpd is included in V3 of the firmware replacement already, right?), in order to allow more that 5 connections and in order to give every user a separate directory.

I do not like that every of the 5 allowed users can see all directories on the devices. That was my intention to replace the firmware and to have my own FTP thing running.

I also compared the busybox screenshot from here [1] with mine by typing "busybox" in the shell and I found that "adduser" is not included. I found this frustrating, because I am using the vsftpd script from here [2] and tried to set up a new user. It seems that the script cannot call "adduser" from somewhere...
I successully changed the shell in the script from bash to ash in order to make it start at least, but I am totally lost now. Paths on the device are different from the instructions given under [2] and I have no real plan how to continoue...

Hope, anybody can help to get out of the dilemma...

Cheers
Flasher

Hi Pagano,

thanks. I will follow your recommendation and try to fidure that out.

btw: Is the original FTP server (5 user, same dir access) diables by the new one automatically?
How can I make the vsftpd server running and check if it runs properly?

Many thanks in advance for your answers.

Cheers
