I am really liking the power of Dolphin and all the KDE tools that go along with using it. What can I do to connect over FTP/SFTP with Dolphin?
FileZilla is really kind of "meh," when it comes to user interface. I'm wondering if there's something simpler/cleaner/slicker out there?
In the world of Ubuntu, it seems you either always run an FTP server or you never do. Perhaps I'm the first network analyst who's needed to flash a Cisco, Checkpoint or Nokia image using Ubuntu... I need an FTP server for maybe 5 minutes, no more than that.
I'm looking for a bare-bones, user-initiated FTP server. I understand that it would likely have to run with sudo. That's fine - but I want to start/stop it like a normal program.
On the Windows platform, such tools are a dime a dozen - I've used 3CDaemon for years and recently found CoreFTP. Both are excellent. You configure a user, point it at a directory, then hit the "Start" button. A couple of minutes later, you're generally done and you hit the "Stop" button. Job done.
Such tools don't seem to exist on Ubuntu. I found a Google Code project that creates a TFTP instance reasonably nicely (assuming it still runs - I haven't used it in about a year and python has moved on), but how about FTP? Anything out there?
I have installed wordpress on my ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition and I am trying to install plugin from the browser (I know I can drop it to the wp-content/plugin but I want to do it via the web browser using FTP) I get this screen when I am trying to set auto update or install a plugin from web browser.
I provide the hostname 127.0.0.1 and Username and password the ones that I use to login to wordpress. I get the error
Username/password Incorrect and cannot connect to 127.0.0.1:20
I think i'll have to grant a user with ftp password but I dont know how. I have already installed vsftp but when I try "ftp 127.0.0.1" I get -
$ ftp 127.0.0.1
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
220 (vsFTPd 2.3.0)

Wordpress is running locally on my Ubuntu Desktop.
I would like to setup a basic FTP server on my Ubuntu Server install. I have been playing with VSFTPD, but am having issues getting the server to allow me to create directories and copy files. I have set the system to allow local users, but it appears that doesn't mean I get access to create directories. This may be an instance where I need to be better grounded in Ubuntu server setup in order to configure this FTP server adequately. The end goal is to be able to move files from my local dev folder into my www folder for deployment. Directories need to be able to move as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
