Create our first virtual user
pure-pw useradd joe -u ftpuser -g ftpgroup -d /home/pubftp/joe
We will have to type his password twice, and we are almost ready to go.
Save the password file, I mean create the pure-ftp password database run this command:
pure-pw mkdb
Do this each time you make changes to the password file.
/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start
Some other tips
To list users
pure-pw list
To see some user's information
pure-pw show joe
Where joe is the user you want to list his info.
To change a password
pure-pw passwd joe
Be sure to update the database by running:
pure-pw mkdb
