Hi!
I'm trying to figure out what's going wrong with a "simple" FTPS setup and VSFTPD.
I saw references on Google and tried, and tried, and tried... without success.
I'll start by explaining my situation: I have a WEB development server behind a firewall. It's currently only for the intranet. We now have an external company that will have to do a new website for us and we want them to access securely our development server.
Internally, we access it with regular FTP (we use DreamWeaver 8). In the references i saw, i'd just add the following lines and it is supposed to work:
As a rule, we require external developers to access our servers using OpenVPN which provides a simple means of getting secure access without having to deal with multiple server components.
The OpenVPN clients for Windows and OS X are simple to set up, well within the capabilities of the average web developer (which often aren't extensive :-).
