[horde] gollem asks for user and passowrd to "ftp server"?

[Lane, Jim]

Ed: this is a classic example of why one should never give geeks a
straightforward problem to solve:-) The problem, it seems, isn't with
either Horde or Gollem. If I go to a shell prompt on my webserver system
and try running "ftp localhost" I get login failures with each and every
valid account. So, I assume if I get the unix end of it fixed the web
app will probably work fine too. Sigh.

Regards,
Jim Lane

Hi Jim,

I use ldap and have never tried with unix accounts but I don't see why 
there should be any differences.  It should work the same as the 
command line.

Below is one of my configurations for ftp in gollem/backends.php that 
will hopefully help you as a point for comparison.

If your horde login is only the userid and password and are the same as 
your commandline ftp userid and password, this configuration that I use 
for ldap should probably work.  The root and home variables will need 
to be set up for your installation.  I use virtual domains in proftpd 
so '/' in my case is:

/home/virtual/$vdomain/

do to my setup in proftpd.  So basically this gives them access to 
their homedirectory only.  The same in unix could be something like 
'/home/'

$backends['personalftp'] = array(
  'name' => 'FTP Server',
  'driver' => 'ftp',
  'preferred' => '',
  'hordeauth' => 'full',
  'params' => array(
  'root'=> '/' . Auth::getAuth(),
  'home'=> '/' Auth::getAuth(),
  'hostspec' => 'localhost',
  // The port number of the FTP server
  'port' => 21,
  'pasv' => false,
  ),
  'attributes' => array('type', 'name', 'download', 'modified', 'size', 
'permission', 'owner', 'group')
);

Hope this helps,

ed
