With firmware 1.04, it seems to be a new ftp deamon : pureftpd

I've changed its config file (pure-ftpd.conf) by adding those two lines :

passiveportrange = "65400:65500"
forcepassiveip = "mypublicip"

but nothing happens! each time I start the server, the file is reinitialized...

can someone help me?

This file isn't read by pure-ftpd itself.  It's written to when updating the ftp setup via the web.  Essentially, it's DLink's config file for passing information to pure-ftpd.  Don't use it

So instead of starting the ftp server via the web tool, just start it manually from the command line or put it into a config file to load on startup.  For example, I have something like this in my fun_plug

/usr/bin/pure-ftpd -c <max users> -I <timeout> -P <IP> -p <low passive range:high passive range> -S <Port>

Thank you dan.crouthamel, it works!

But only with my IP adress, not with my host name! I got
421 Illegal Forced IP for passive connectionsi
Do you have an odea of what the problem is?

Is there a way to view the command-line the DNS issues to start the FTP server during startup?

Here's why I ask: I have multiple users & anonymous pointing to different directories with different access levels.  So I would like to start pure-ftpd with all the correct options to match those users' configurations, except I would like to add the logging switch.  Therefore, I think the best way would be to copy the DNS command-line and then put it in the fun_plug with the logging switch.

Any ideas?  Thanks.
