Pure-FTPd Documentation

uci show pure-ftpd look at pure-ftpd.@pure-ftpd[0].authentication=…, if is set, by default it should be pure-ftpd.@pure-ftpd[0].authentication=puredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb, if it's not change it to default value (or you can change filename and location as you wish)

addgroup pure_ftpd_grp #or any othername as you want

adduser -H -G pure_ftpd_grp pure_ftpd_user #adds user to previously created group - change groupname accordingly, afterwards you will be asked for password for user (-H indicates that I don't want to assign home directory - if you want to you need to change -H to -h /homedirectory)

pure-pw useradd FTP_LOGIN -u pure_ftpd_user -d /ftp_directory #change FTP_LOGIN, pure_ftpd_user and /ftp_directory as you wish (pure_ftpd_user is same as you created in previous step)

pure-pw mkdb

Of course you can change other properties like quotas, ratio…, you can use other authentication methods (LDAP, MySQL…), to do it read official documentation.

if no setting then default is 1 for enabled.
