sudo apt-get install pure-ftpd-common pure-ftpd
In this tutorial we will show you how to create a new FTP user or reset a user password for this FTP server.
1. Create New FTP User
In this example I will create a user called upubuntu, you can change it to whatever you want. Open the terminal and run this command:
pure-pw useradd upubuntu -u ftpuser -d /home/ftpusers/upubuntu
Users are stored by default in this location: /etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.passwd
After creating a user, you have to update this database with this command:
pure-pw mkdb
If you want to get information about a specific FTP user, use this command:
pure-pw show upubuntu
To list all FTP users, run this command:
pure-pw list
2. Reset FTP User Password
If you a user password is forgotten, you can reset it with the following command:
pure-pw passwd upubuntu
Update then your database with this command:
pure-pw mkdb
That's it!
