How  to install  Proftpd in Ubuntu 10.x and  11.x

Answer:

 



sudo
apt-get
install
proftpd

During installation you can choose to install as an inetd service,
or a standalone server.  I read and followed the advice of installing
 as Standalone  server


Backup the configuration file incase you mess something up!



sudo
cp
/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf.original

Open the config for edit



sudo
nano /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf

 Change your server name to whatever you like



ServerName
"whatever.mydomain.com"

Uncomment the line to restrict users to their home directory



DefaultRoot ~



Save your changes and then restart the service



sudo
service proftpd restart

And you can put a custom message in any folder to have it
 displayed when accessed



sudo
nano /home/username/.message<br /><br />save and  exit <br /><br />Now  connect from windows  ftp  client . winscp or  cuteftp or filezella<br /><br /><br />Connect  and  enjoy <br /><img src="http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv77/ZINOVSKY/ScreenShot014-1.png" border="0" width="715" height="455" />
