------------------------ WINDOWS PORT OF PURE-FTPD ------------------------
Pure-FTPd was designed for Unix-like systems. Still, it is possible to
run it on Windows using Cygwin.
This should be considered experimental and unsupported.
------------------------ INSTALLATION ------------------------
Copy the executable files (*.EXE) in a suitable directory. Also copy
CYGWIN1.DLL in that directory.
Create a C:\CYGWIN directory (you can leave it empty, but the
directory should be there) .
------------------------ RUNNING THE SERVER ------------------------
PURE-FTPD.EXE works like Unix's /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd program and all
command-line switches apply as well.
A noticeable difference, though, is that users can't be stored in
/etc/passwd (or equivalent files) . All users have the same UID/GID.
So better chroot everyone.
Users must be in a puredb database. PURE-PW.EXE can be used to create
virtual users. It you use it in the default configuration, you have to
create C:\CYGWIN\etc and C:\etc .
Ray Jachrist says that Pure-FTPd can run as a service using Firedaemon:
http://www.firedaemon.com/ .
------------------------ SERVER FILES ------------------------
All files managed by Pure-FTPd have their path relative to C:\CYGWIN .
It means that starting the server with:
pure-ftpd -lpuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb
Will read:
C:\CYGWIN\etc\pureftpd.pdb
It also applies to log files and users directories.
------------------------ ANONYMOUS FTP ------------------------
Files for anonymous FTP must be stored in a directory called:
C:\CYGWIN\FTP
(of course you can use the -e switch to disable anonymous FTP) .
Alternatively, you can have a FTP_ANON_DIR environment variable to
define the directory for public files.
Virtual hosting is supported as well. Files must be in:
C:\CYGWIN\PURE-FTPD\<ip>\
If you don't want anonymous users to upload files, use the -i switch.
------------------------ COMPILATION ENVIRONMENT ------------------------
Pure-FTPd can be compiled on Cygwin with the following command:
env LDFLAGS="-static -s" \
./configure --with-everything --with-brokenrealpath \
--without-shadow --with-nonroot --with-tls
All these switches (except --with-everything and --with-tls) are highly
recommended to compile Pure-FTPd on Windows.
Required packages are: base, gcc (+ dependencies), make and the crypt
library. libsodium is also recommended if you are using PureDB.
All of these can be installed with the standard Cygwin installer
(http://www.cygwin.com/) .
