(1) It has the option of being a Daemon. I just want on-off connection. (2) I invoke this server "pure-ftpd" from a su Dolphin; quit with a Ctrl-C. The client, Filezilla, was not connecting. At the time I did not realize it included a basic "pure-ftpd.conf" that needed to be included in calling up the server. Filezilla then made a connection: Tumbleweed was connected to LEAP 15.6. Now, the next problem: the server (pure-ftpd) is on LEAP and Client Filezilla is on Tumbleweed (1) Client Filezilla on Tumbleweed (LocalSite) shows from "/" the whole filesystem & filestructure (2) Server "pure-ftpd" is (Remote site) on LEAP computer. The call for the local filesystem starts with "/" root directory. It yields "empty" (3) I know it is protecting the protecting the Remote file system, but I am same user (administrator), same password on both computers. I can't figure out how to get the Remote site (LEAP) to open any directories since "/" comes up as empty. (a) Permissions for "/" are owned by root (me, both cpu's), Read rites are for users and others. I ran both server and client under su Dolphin. No change (b) What I need to do is temporarily gain permissions for the remote site LEAP somehow from Tumbleweed or suspend all permissions on LEAP temporarily so the "/" directory will be revealed. (c) If I reverse Local and Remote sites (Tumbleweed Remote as server and LEAP as client under filezilla, The Remote connects and successfully downloads "/" on Tumbleweed as an empty directory. I need someone with more wisdom on this than me. I know I could run files between the two with a flash drive, but prefer FTP if possible.
