ioFTPD SSL - not running as a service

gorkypark · 07-19-2005, 04:54 PM

I've got ioFTPD SSL installed (least I think I have!)

When I connect using Auth SSL I get the certificate and the connection works fine.

When I connect without using Auth SSL I still manage to connect - now surely this is not supposed to happen?

What may I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Getting SSL sorted just means you can connect with SSL, it doesn;t stop people connecting without.
You need to edit ioftpd.cfg and change the settings for force encryption.

Ah!now that explains it! Could you perhaps share a little more of your knowledge and point me in the right direction?

No, because to give you the exact lines I would have to remote connect to my home computer and open up the configs.
Just read the config file where you set up encryption, aint that hard. And if still struggling as fox says its explained in teh docs.

Require_Encrypted_Auth = M !*
Require_Encrypted_Data = !*

Allowed_Users = * means everybody is allowed to login.

Require_Encrypted_Auth = M !* means Masters are required to use encrypted authorization (secure login) and everybody else does NOT have to use secure login.

Require_Encrypted_Data = !* means nobody is required to encrypt the data they are sending and receiving.

So i think most users can use
Require_Encrypted_Auth = *
Require_Encrypted_Data = !*

Everyone need secure login (SSL), data encryption is not needed in above situation.

look there, try reading in the knowledgbase and documentation about ssl

Thanks for the help - it confused me (easily done) when I read about editing the ioftpd.cfg file, if it had said ioftpd.ini file I would not have posted asking for more advice.

Coffee, worke a treat, missed removing the ! in the Required area - on a point of fact MOST if not all of the links in the documentation dont work since the site move, I do check documentation BEFORE posting

Thanks again
