------------------------ OSX SPECIFIC NOTES ------------------------
The easiest way to install Pure-FTPd is to use Homebrew:
$ brew install pure-ftpd
Available options are:
--with-mysql
Build with mysql support
--with-postgresql
Build with postgresql support
--with-virtualchroot
Follow symbolic links even for chrooted accounts
To get Pure-FTPd authenticate against system users on OSX, you have to
use PAM.
$ ./configure --with-pam <your other favorite options like --with-everything>
$ make install-strip
Create a /etc/pam.d/pure-ftpd file:
# pure-ftpd: auth account password session
auth required pam_opendirectory.so
account required pam_permit.so
password required pam_deny.so
session required pam_permit.so
Start the FTP server:
$ /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -lpam -B
To take advantage of Bonjour, please add --with-bonjour to ./configure
switches and give the server a Bonjour service name with the -v (--bonjour=)
switch.
