FTP Setup Help

[boogyman]

I am setting up a new server based upon the Linux/Debian 4.0 Etch distribution, and I have attempted to install PureFTP however I have been unable to complete this. When I attempt to test the system from my windows box, I receive the following error


Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you types the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder.

Details:
The FTP session was terminated

The directory used for our ftp server is

/home/ftp

and that folder as well as its sub-categories all have 755 permissions, with "ftpuser" and "ftpgroup" as the owner/group respectively.

When I created a user for testing, I used the following command

#pure-pw useradd ftpuser -u ftpuser -d /home/ftp/ftpuser

and when I run a check on the user

#pure-pw show ftpuser
it lists all the appropriate settings that my current server has.

I am not exactly sure of where and/or how I should proceed in ensuring the proper set-up of the ftp protocol.

Any help would be appreciated.

After more research, I found that this is an issue with enabling virtual users. I have found information on the pureftp.org website, that states the virtual users need to be given support at compile, however when I put the referenced option in the apt-get statement it spits an error


apt-get install pure-ftpd-common pure-ftpd --with-everything

will return

E: Command line option --with-everything is not understood

anyone help?
