cPanel DNS-only and FTP

[pauloray]

Hi,

I have a VPS running DNS-only, can I add FTP functionality on this DNS-only server? How?

My purpose is to use WHM Backup Features on my main WHM/cPanel server and FTP'd the files to my DNS-only server.

Hello

FTP functionality is not integrated into cPanel DNS-Only by default. However, you are welcome to install a system package such as PureFTP through YUM and configure it manually. Searching for "YUM Pure-ftpd" on Google yields several tutorials on this that should be of help to you.

Thank you.

Thanks CPanelMichael. Will install PureFTP on it.

I cannot install Pure-FTPD.
I get this error:
No package pure-ftpd available.

Is there something I need to edit. I only installed Cpanel DNS-only on this server.

 

[cPanelMichael]

Yes, you have to ensure there is a repository installed that includes the package. Searching for "YUM Pure-ftpd" on Google shows a few tutorials on how to complete this.

Thank you.

I did this:
rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

and it says:
package epel-release-6-8.noarch is already installed

But:
yum install pure-ftpd

gives me:
Setting up Install Process
No package pure-ftpd available.

Any other sugggestions?

Okay, I solved my issue.

/etc/yum.conf has excludes mysql* pure-fptd* pro-ftpd* etc
so I deleted those files and pure-ftpd is now installed and running.

Do you mean you removed all excludes in /etc/yum.conf ?
You shouldn't.
