<H1>How to setup an FTP server to work with MBSE BBS.</H1>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
In order to let MBSE BBS and your FTP server to both function together you must
|
|
organize a special file structure. Note that even if you don't setup an FTP
|
|
server you must still create a structure like this for the fidonet mailer,
|
|
if you don't, <strong>mail and files will get lost!</strong>
|
|
Note that this description is written for wu-ftpd, on your distribution there
|
|
may be another ftpd installed. <font color=red><u>Don't use mbftpd yet!</u></font>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<H4>The filestructure I used is as follows:</H4>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
/var/spool/mbse/ftp/pub/dos_util/dos_4dos - Public download areas
|
|
| | | /dos_disk
|
|
| | | /dos_file
|
|
| | /virnet/mcafee
|
|
| | /win16
|
|
| | /win32
|
|
| /bin - FTP bin directory
|
|
| /etc - FTP etc directory
|
|
| /incoming - FTP public upload.
|
|
/mail/out - Your default outbound
|
|
| /out.009 - Outbound Zone 9
|
|
| /inbound - Inbound directory
|
|
/raonly/upload - Non-public download areas
|
|
| /sysop
|
|
| /logfiles
|
|
/tic_queue - Queue for .tic files.
|
|
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
|
|
In order to give DOS style names for fidonet sessions you must set the
|
|
DOS path and Unix path in <strong>mbsetup</strong> (1.3.11 and 1.3.12) to
|
|
<strong>"m:"</strong> and <strong>"/var/spool/mbse"</strong>. Note that to get
|
|
forwarding of .tic files to work the <strong>tic_queue</strong> must be a
|
|
subdirectory of "/var/spool/mbse" too. You could actually use any drive letter for
|
|
the DOS path.
|
|
<P>
|
|
This means that a fidonet file attach from the dos_4dos public download
|
|
directory shall get the subject "M:\FTP\PUB\DOS_UTIL\DOS_4DOS\COMMAND.ZIP".
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
As you can see, anonymous ftp users can't get to the mail, non-public
|
|
downloads etc. Normally, your BBS users have unix accounts and will be able
|
|
to do a ftp login and access any directory on your system. Because the bbs
|
|
users have <b>mbsebbs</b> as their shell and this shell is not in the file
|
|
<b>/etc/shells</b> the ftp daemon will not let the bbs users in. So even
|
|
your own bbs users must login as anonymous to get files from the ftp server.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Note the following directory permissions MUST BE SET!!!!::: See also
|
|
the man pages for the DARPA ftpd server.

</PRE>
|
|
Note that all subdirectories under ../pub also must be owned by <strong>mbse
|
|
</strong> and group <strong>bbs</strong> and have at least mode 775 as long
|
|
as it are real bbs subdirectories. The bbs will maintain these directories
|
|
automatic and must have the rights to do so.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
In the /var/spool/mbse/ftp/etc/group file, add the group bbs so that your directory
|
|
listings give the proper groupname instead of a number.
