Setup ProFTP and FTP user account on Debian

[Fli]

How to setup ProFTPd on a linux Debian server and setup user with access to one folder /var/www example.

This is simple tutorial: http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Setup_FTP_Server_under_Debian
The steps from tutorial are following:

install proftpd:

aptitude install proftpd

aptitude not found?

apt-get install aptitude

after proftpd installed, add this to the end of /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf

<Global>
RequireValidShell off
</Global>

DefaultRoot ~ ftpuser

<Limit LOGIN>
DenyGroup !ftpuser
</Limit>

to reflect config change, reload & restart proftpd:

/etc/init.d/proftpd reload;/etc/init.d/proftpd restart

add group ftpuser:

addgroup ftpuser

add username of your choice and set its access to /var/www (or any other dir):

adduser daniel -shell /bin/false -home /var/www

add user to group:

adduser daniel ftpuser

this is done. might be needed to change access right of a directory you set user to connect (above /var/www), so i did:

chown daniel:daniel /var/www

Enable passive FTP connections for proftpd:

I had PassivePorts 49152 65534

tried: iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 49152:65534 -j ACCEPT

and:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 49152:65534 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --source-port 49152:65534 -j ACCEPT

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 1024: --dport 49152:65534 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 1024: --dport 49152:65534 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

Here one can veriffy if port is open: http://www.portcheckers.com/

or try using only active FTP connections
