[Proftpd-user] changing password.

[s***@eluminoustechnologies.com]

Hello All,

We are using proftpd on my redhat linux server. We have virtual host for each ftp user. All the user passwords are stored in /etc/proftpd/passwd.vhosts. I need to change the passwd for a user account. How do I change it from the shell. What is the command to change the ftpuser passwd.

Thank you,

[TJ Saunders]

If you're using the ftpasswd script, it'd be:

ftpasswd --passwd --file=/etc/proftpd/passwd.vhosts --change-password

The --not-system-password and --use-cracklib options might also be useful.

Hope this helps...
