vsftp virtual users configuration
Hi,
I want to share a folder which is /home/me/downloads with my mates.
So, I just want to create a virtual user with vsftpd. I could do it with pam , but it seems that if I create a ftp user with ehcp (an admin user, because I want to acces a /home/me directory) a virtual user is created (in /etc/vsftpd-user). So I don't want to mess up the ehcp configuration.
Then I tried to create a admin ftp user via ehcp, and modify its configuration in its configuration file (/etc/vsftpd-
So, is there a way to do this ?

do this way:
go to phpmyadmin, ehcp db, ftpaccounts table
find row with that user,
change homedir to whatever you want
ehcp->options->sync ftp
your user will be with whatever you want, will keep config even if you
re-add some ftp into ehcp again.
ehcp will keep user "homedir", other settings like you said,
readonly=true, will not work this way, only homedir will work.
to make additional change, regarding ftp settings, you need to make
change in classapp.php file, function syncFtp()
Ok, I did it this way, creating user by ; Add ftp Under My ftp
Then changing homedir is working, but the user CAN create directory or delete files, and I don't want this.
So, I went again in the /etc/vsftpd-
Then, created another user, and everything has been deleted again.
Hm, seems that the writeoutput2 function use fputs with a w argument, so erase all the file (I'm not a php dev at all).
Using "a" argument won't solve my problem either, duplication of "homedir" parameter each time I use syncFtp function seems not a proper solution.
I suppose I should just code a write function, similar to write output but checking the line with homedir and just replacing this one.
If you can give me a hand on this, it would be awesome ...
Ok, I changed the fopen paramaters (using "a" instead of "w"), but like i said i now have tons of useless lines.
I really think this is a major improvement aera for ehcp, ftp administration is really too simple

you may also add this to blueprints.. which are feature requests..

will work on this and let you know, when ready.
Thank you very much. I suppose that making an option "keep paramaters" with a condition to change only the line with "homedir" would be enough.
Sadly, I'm not a php dev at all
So I consider this as solved, sry.
