wtf thats just stupid.. if your trying to save on disk-space it wont work cause u will still need to cache it temporarily.. you cant burn on the fly from a network resource
do u mean u get 4-5kb on SFTP? with FTP u should be getting a lot quicker then that

yeah install vsftpd on your box, you will download way faster using ftp instead of sftp

or is your home connection 56k ?
I really cant see sftp being much slower unless these leeware rent a servers are completly shite.

how do i install vsftpd?
i got 4-5kbs with cute ftp through sftp. i did it throught he leeware walkthrough guide there is here cuz i dont know any other way.
my connection is 1.5mbs at home.
no, the reason i want to burn isnt to save hdd spcae, its cuz i can download with leeware large (7-15gb) files very quickly with leeware, and it just doesnt workout through my pc.

Install the FTP Server on your leeware and you can download with more speed through FDM.
- Open PuTTy and connect
- Type in PuTTy "yum -y install vsftpd" (everything without the " )
- Then type "/ect/init.d/vsftpd start"
- Now you can reach the FTP Server at "ftp://vps111.leeware.com/"
- Install FDM (free download manager)
- The rest you will understand yourself..
I have postet this many times on the forum :dry:

ok, thanks very much.
BTW, you wrote up there "ect" instead of "eTC" :)
took me a few minutes but i manage to realize it, anyway ok i connect and there
is an empty folder called PUB, and thats it, cant get anywhere else.
so i do i get things in there?
and... how do i password protect my FTP access?
thanks.

You're logging in anonymously. Get a ftp client like Filezilla to login using your username and password, or put this into the address in Internet Explorer: ftp://username:password@vps***.leeware.com/
Then, you should be able to see your home directory which I'm assuming is /root/.
To turn off anonymous login, type in putty:
vim /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf (edit the vsftpd config file)
and change anonymous_enable=YES to NO
EDIT: forgot, you then have to restart vsftpd, type: /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

hmm, still doesnt work, it says that it starts it OK.
but when i try to connect with my user and pass it tells me:
530 premission denied, or from some program it tells me "extender error"
though the regular anonymous login still works (i didnt turn it off cuz it didnt work)
thanks

Sorry, I forgot vsftpd by default won't allow root to login, hence the permission denied. It's not very safe to login as root, but here is how:
vim /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers
remove 'root' from the file, save and quit
vim /etc/vsftpd/user_list
remove 'root' from the file, save and quit
then restart vsftpd: /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart

on fedora.. if you just wanna make the service starting a little easier.. you can use
service vsftpd stop
service vsftpd start
service vsftpd restart
or anything like that

I had a problem with my box setting up vsftpd, when i wanted to forbid anonymous access, the server wasn't starting up at all
i used : "/sbin/service vsftpd start" instead of "/ect/init.d/vsftpd start"
and everything is fine with that, no idea why
maybe it will help someone so i post it
Posted by: naq
it's /etc, not /ect.
To have vsftpd autostart when your leeware is restarted:
chkconfig --add vsftpd
chkconfig --level 345 vsftpd on

thanks.
since its not wise to login as root, if i create a user and logon as that user would it be any safer?
Posted by: naq
Yes, it is safer to create a new user to use. With a user, you can still execute most root commands as well if you configure and use 'sudo', type 'man sudo' to learn more...
Posted by: nbo
ok, i cant connect to ftp with my new user, he doesnt have axx
any time i try "man sudo" the description is cut in the middle, dont know why.
so from the root how do i grant my new user access so that i can connect to ftp through it?
