FTP Support

Mte90

Is possible add the ftp support?
In this way is not needed an extern usb archive

rasti

I also would like to have FTP access (to my MP3 collection on an USB stick)

I tried to install vsftpd but couldn't get it work (but pls note I'm almost a linux analphabet)
Then I came accross that page here.
http://netarky.com/programming/arch_linux/Arch_Linux_SFTP_setup.html#sftpGood
I reinstalled with a new image from scratch and noticed that this
line "Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server " is not commented out in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Howerver, when I triy to ftp or sftp with root/rune or anonymous I get no connection.
What am I doing or thinking wrong?

Hi rasti,

SFTP works out of the box on all RuneAudio platforms.
I use WinSCP without any problems.

Thank you Frank,

I use totalcommander and sftp is not included in the normal ftp interface...

I tried to install the total commander plugin but couldn't get it work.

I installed WINSCP and it works.
At least in the directories on the SD card.
The USB is only visible to me but I cannot write files to (I get error code 4)
Owner of these fies is MPD and I FTPd as user root, so
probably a user right problem....any quick fix for that ?

Hello Ralf,

i think this is because your usb media is mounted read only.
Depending on the filesystem used, try to modify /etc/udevil/udevil.conf
Find this part

default_options_udf       = nosuid, noexec, nodev, noatime, uid=$UID, gid=$GID
default_options_vfat      = ro, iocharset=utf8, noatime, uid=$UID, gid=$GID
default_options_exfat     = ro, nonempty, uid=$UID, gid=$GID
default_options_hfsplus   = ro, uid=$UID, gid=$GID

and change "ro" to "rw"

default_options_exfat     = rw, nonempty, uid=$UID, gid=$GID

default_options_vfat      = rw, iocharset=utf8, noatime, uid=$UID, gid=$GID

You can do this with WinSCP.

It works now ! (at least with WINscp, as for total commander I need to dig a bit deeper ....)

last question for tonight, when I am in the browse directory window, and see
the option USB STORAGE (1) , how or where can I change the default start folder from
/mnt/MPD/USB/
to
/mnt/MPD/USB/sda1-usb-SanDisk_Cruzer_B/mp3/

Do I just need to edit that line :
allowed_media_dirs = /mnt/MPD/USB
in that same file udevil.conf ?

thanks

No.
What you can try is disabling "usb automount" (settings tab) and mount your
usb stick manually via /etc/fstab.
A good description can be found here.

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>			<dir>				<type>	<options>								<dump>	<pass>
logs						/var/log				tmpfs	nodev,nosuid,noatime,mode=1777,size=5M	0	0
rune-logs				/var/log/runeaudio	tmpfs	nodev,nosuid,noatime,mode=1777,size=5M	0	0
UUID=xxx-your-uuid-xxx	/mnt/MPD/USB		vfat		rw, nodev, noexec, noatime, uid=1000, gid=1000, fmask=0022, dmask=0022, codepage=437, iocharset=utf8, shortname=mixed, errors=remount-ro

Adapt your uuid, type and options.

Hello,

my /etc/fstab: static looks quite different (see below), I have no clue what to change there

If this is a rather big deal to change the start directory, I'll leave it as is.
As I already mentioned, I am almost a lunix analphabet....
Anyway, I have all I ever needed and that small change is just cosmetics....

Thanks
Ralf
