FXP with PureFTP & cPanel

[Frank Broughton]

-w is the switch to activate FXP transfers for authenticated usewrs with PureFTP. Anyone know how to make this the default setting for a cPanel restart of PureFTP?

I searched and looked and give up... haha I am not running a .conf file for PureFTP.

Check /etc/pure-ftpd.conf and change the line from :

AllowUserFXP no

to

AllowUserFXP yes

and restart the FTP server as:

service pure-ftpd restart

On cPanel there is an option AllowUserFXP in /etc/pure-ftpd.conf, it is set to no by default.

Thank you..... Duh? How did I miss that. Should have used locate..... I thought I was using the recommended command line version on the VPS.

Oh well thanks again, now it is in the public record at least here on the forum.

Masood - if you are reading this, I read that using FXP could be a security risk? I have it set only to use FXP with authenticated users - it is that okay and safe to use this way?
