Possible bugs with Administration
Posted: 2022-01-16 12:42
Im using Filezilla Server for educational purpose, and im facing some problems:
The filezilla ftp server is running in Ubuntu 20.04.
The gui is connecting from same pc and from a vm using Vbox with Windows 10.
1 - Users/Group permissions in GUI: when you change anything, it always shows the last user/group modifications.
ex: if you have different users, in the last user you enter, put a folder called /test in read only mode, all the users would have then the folder test with read only mode. No matter what setup they had before.
Note: i downloaded the last nightly build and seems that works. Any ETA to 1.3.0 ?
2 - Now from a clean boot of my system, i execute the gui: and seems i have to run the file-server before.
Yesterday i tried to open different guis, but it said that the server in port 14148 is already in use.
Summarizing when executing gui, seems that sometimes also launch server, other only launches the gui and you have to launch server service.
Would be nice to simplify this, perhaps an option on start up menu, or establish that when you launch gui you also launch server, or in the other hand you have to launch server, and then gui.
I didnt found this in any documentation.
The easy solution from me were that gui, also launches service filezilla server if not launched yet.
An explanation about filezilla-server, filezilla-server-gui and the filezilla status/start/stop service, and filezilla-server-impersonation would be nice 3- Seems error with listeners: Ive a ubuntu pc with filezilla server. So if i want to connect from other computer lets say 192.168.1.49 and port 14148 it doesnt work. Dont know why i had to add 0.0.0.0 and port 14148, and then i can connect from the other pc to my server to configure it. I need also some explanation about listeners, ips and ports used, if they have to use differnt ports or same ports.
4 - User have to have the / virtual path ? Its possible to assign only /test /srv/webapp/test ?
5 - In some place i read about performance. Yoy have to set a multiple of threads of your server/pc... Which are recommended values ? ex: if i have a pc with 4 threads, the number for best performance, should be 8,15,16 ?? Any recommendations or range ( in general case)
6 - If you connect from two different places and use gui, they are not refreshed till you disconnect and connect again...Perhaps for now should be noticed not to use more than one at same time, and in near future improve, with live update of setup, when any user or admin, modifies the setup...
7 - Filezilla Server on Windows 10. I want to use as system user lets say miquel, an user of the system already created. Doesnt work. From client cant connect to server with user miquel and his password. But if you create a new user in system, lets say miquel2, then it works...you can connect from client using miquel2 credentials.
8 - Difficulties to register in this forum: i had to use edufissure@msn.com as mail but wasnt able to activate account, despite of many resends. Also tried with mavillamazares@hotmail.com...didnt work either. Tried then with edufissure@gmail.com...and in the register form said that gmail accounts are forbidden, and finally with egutie9@xtec.cat i was able to activate the account...I didnt find a way to contact a moderator in the forum without login.
9 - If you buy filezilla server with comprenhesive tutorial documentation, Its updated ? If you buy lets say 1.2.0...then id have the right to have the updated tutorial when 1.3.0,1.4.0 and so on would be launched ??
Sorry for the long post, but id like to begin with my students of vocational education this week...As the past week we were working with Filezilla Client.
Thank for your work, seems that after many years without active development of filezilla-server, these last months, it has under heavy active development.
pd: if i can have some kind of assistence in this doubts/problems, i offer myself in next months to update the documentation
