  ##################################################################

 proftpd FTP server user account creation using commands    ##################################################################

note:- If you have already configured proftpd server and just want to add new user , skip to step 3 direct

////////////////

//  step 1. 

////////////////

install proftpd on system if it is not installed using apt

command is 

apt-get install  proftpd-basic

/////////////////

//  Step 2

/////////////////

enter into directory /etc/proftpd

open file proftpd.conf

uncoment line number 34 (containg text DefaultRoot ~ )

and add this line just below it

AuthUserFile    /etc/proftpd/ftpd.passwd

//////////////
// Step 3

//////////////

now add virtual user to ftp server using command 

ftpasswd --uid <uid> --gid <gid> --name <username> --shell /bin/false --home <path> --passwd

here 

uid is the user id (assign 33 and user will behave like www-data user)

gid is group id (assign 33 to work as www-data)

name is the username which you want to add to ftp server

shell is the name of shell terminal have it /bin/false

home is the directory where user will be directed after successful login

passwd is for password and need not to supply password with command 

for example i want to create a user having name indishell and want to assign /ftp directory to him if user autheticate successfully

uid and gid is 33 

command will be 

ftpasswd --uid 33 --gid 33 --name indishell --shell /bin/false --home /ftp --passwd

press enter and supply new password for the user account

//////////////

// Step 4

////////////// 

now need to chmod and chown the /etc/proftpd/ftpd.passwd and /etc/proftpd/ftpd.group

these files contains FTP server usernames/groups and its password 

chmod 400 /etc/proftpd/ftpd.passwd /etc/proftpd/ftpd.group

chown proftpd.nogroup /etc/proftpd/ftpd.passwd /etc/proftpd/ftpd.group

and now are done :)
you can login to your ftp account using command
ftp  server_IP



Note:- if you are on ubuntu server, then value of uid and gid should be 33(web server id) else you may face issue in writing files ;)

enjoy >:D<
