This is not FTPS (also known as S/FTP or Secure FTP), which is the mod_tls you were talking about. I was about to correct you on writing the correct name for a FTP over SSL/TLS channel, which is FTPS and not SFTP, then I actualy read your post and you are right, this is an SFTP (as in SecureSHell FTP) emulation performed by an FTP daemon.

If you don't have custombuild, go here to install it. Compile new ProFTPD with mod_sftp instead of mod_tlsĪssuming your system has custombuild already installed. Make sure you know what you are doing before attempting this, since you could lock yourself out of the server. This is done by changing the Port line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restarting sshd. I recommend changing your ssh port if you haven't done so already. I might try to come up with a setup for running both SFTP and insecure-FTP later if there is demand. The only drawback to this implementation is that all users on the system will need to switch to SFTP. I've set it up for several people recently and it works really well. SFTP hasn't been supported by many common FTP servers such as ProFTPD, until TJ Saunders wrote a mod_sftp for ProFTPD. 3) It only lets DirectAdmin Users login, if a user creates a child FTP account, it will not work for SFTP. 2) You can't restrict SSH access to certain IPs if you have customers needing to use SFTP.

The problems with this are 1) users must be given ssh access to use SFTP. I'm sure some here have been using SFTP with DirectAdmin however that is done over the system's SSH daemon.

3) FTP/TLS support is also less common in FTP clients. 2) That also causes problems with FTP traversal of firewalls since the firewall can't see which ports are going to be needed, although that can be worked around with PassivePorts configuration in ProFTPD. 1) It only encrypts the control channel of FTP, leaving the actual data transferred still in clear text. We all know plain FTP is insecure and its surprising how much it is still in use today.ĭA comes with support for ProFTPD mod_tls however there are several problems with mod_tls.
