Since I'm running a few virtual sites on my server, I wanted to know how I could enable FTP access to the corresponsing directories?

I.E. /var/www/www.whatever.com

I'd like to give a person a username and password with ftp access to that directory.

Pure-FTPd is a free (GPL), secure, production-quality and standard-conformant FTP server based upon Troll-FTPd. It doesn't provide useless bells and whistles, but focuses on efficiency and ease of use. It provides simple answers to common needs, plus unique useful features for personal users as well as hosting providers.

Cool!

Leme ask you this. There are three versions for the Intel CPU.

pure-ftpd-1.0.11-1.i386.rpm
pure-ftpd-1.0.11-1.i586.rpm
pure-ftpd-1.0.11-1.i686.rpm

Could you tell me what the differences are? I always assumed that the i386 meant for all Intel based machines, but I also see the i686 deals too.

I installed the i386 version and am now trying to play with it.

if your server is a pentium II or newer cpu (or if AMD Athlon/Duron or newer) then use the 686 version

if you have a 386/486 then use the 386 version

if you are somewhere in the middle, use the 586 version

good luck and have fun! :)

I've gone through the documentation a few times, but I can't figure out how to use the GUI.

The website shows this:

Pure-FTPd has a KDE-based GUI called kcmpureftpd, it can be downloaded from the Pure-FTPd site... I haven't used it either, though.

How does PureFTP stack up to Pro-FTP or WU-FTP? I'm using WU currently.
