Ftp-proxy

Big D · 05-05-2009, 07:24 PM

When I, "/etc/init.d/ftp-proxy start" it starts then the next line under *starting ftp-proxy is *disabled. I check where the log file is supposed to be generated and its not there.

The service appears to be failing to start. Any insight? It looks like the startup script is querying something as the disabled line is in the script. Looking for proper installation instructions somewhere.

I had to edit the apt-sources list to download the package via aptitude. I changed the apt-sources list back to default once I was done in order to keep untangle happy.

if [ "$RUN_DAEMON" = "yes" ];

Something about this line in the launch script isn't right. Still wierd that if I change directory to /etc/init.d then do ftp-proxy start. It works right and another process is added to the top list. Not sure exactly which one is FTP-Proxy. Think this package is also call proxy-suite.

Thinking about setting up a simple bash script to run at startup or just removing some logic from this script. I won't be able to test if the service is working right until tomorrow.

That FTP proxy is a part of IPTables, and is useless to help the firewall module... you know that right?

Not looking to help the firewall. It was the only way we got some FTP ticker to work at an airport that streams flight times from some external site into the network.

They don't retrieve the FTP information it gets pushed to them. I think its passive FTP, someone else originally set it up with ftp-proxy I'm just trying to get it working on 6.1.0.

I'm open to suggestions I just want the thing to work. I'll see about testing ftp-proxy based off what I have found so far to see if it even works after starting.

downgraded to version 1.9.2.4-1_i386

This worked. Funny thing is this was installed on the old box before it got reloaded. I figured I needed a new package since the kernel changed but guess not. This starts up fine should start with boot I did the update-rc.d -f ftp-proxy defaults. Had client test and the ticker works.
