Installing VSFTP Daemon
VSFTPD is a highly configurable FTP server that can be made very secure.
It is recommended that you install and use VSFTPD rather than stupid-ftpd, the default ftp server that comes with oleg's firmware.
Easy setup VSFTPD Script
I have made a guide which includes a setup script for VSFTPD which should do all the hard work for you.
This is in its early stages and there are as yet no guarantees that it will work. Please leave feedback! Both for successes and failures!
All you have to do is run one script! Very easy!
Enable FTP_from_WAN
This guide will allow you to connect to your FTP server outside the home network/office LAN.
You will need to know your WAN IP address to do this.
Adding Users
This guide will allow you to create new users on your WL-HDD.
This is useful if you want to create users who can access the FTP server or if you want to switch to Samba user-based access instead of using the guest account.
You can assign each user individual access rights by setting up directory permissions correctly.
FTP Users
This guide will allow users to login to the VSFTP server on the WL-HDD without giving them access to the whole filesystem.
This is called chroot
You can also create multiple users and let many people login to your FTP server, each with their own username and password.
FTP Troubleshooting
This guide contains some troubleshooting advice for some common errors.
You may also post your problems in here on the talk page.
