Unable to retrieve file from ftp server

B

balanga

I have set up ProFTP for anonymous ftp access but am unable to get certain files. If I cd to a particular directory and run ls -al files are displayed.

When I issue (for example)
Code: 
get wget.zip
I get:-
Code: 
bina
200 Type set to I
get wget.zip
local: wget.zip remote: wget.zip
229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||50246|)
550 wget.zip: No such file or directory

I've tried changing permissions and ownership but can't figure out what is wrong.

Any ideas?
 
Can you show the whole output? Login, do an ls, then get the file. Post this whole, including the ls command. The error indicates the file doesn't exist. So you're either not in the correct directory or the file simply isn't there.

I'm looking at my setup and can't find a configuration file anywhere... I guess I'll try reinstalling proftpd again....

There's a guide here which I'll follow... although I'm not sure if the proftp archive directory can be specified anywhere. I assume it should be /home/ftp.
 
Never assume anything. Always check and double-check.

Code: 
-c,--config config-file
		   Specifies an	alternate config-file to be parsed at startup,
		   rather than the default configuration  file.	  [b]The  default
		   configuration file is /usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf[/b]
From proftpd(8).

And
Code: 
: ${proftpd_config:="/usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf"}
In /usr/local/etc/rc.d/proftpd.

I can't figure out why I can retrieve info.php after cding to the directory but can't when using a path....

I just noticed that wget will work using a path...
