Hi
I have an Asus wlg 500 and want to use an USB Stick as an FTP Server.
I already found this page to mount an USB Stick. I think that shouldn't be the problem. What do I have to do to run an FTP Server is there an Tutorial do that. Or can't I do this with OpenWrt?

install vsftpd

Alright thanks thats that I wanted another question there can i find rrdtool und collect ? At Openwrt ftp ther is only the source code but not the ipkg

You can find rrdtool and rrdcollect packages at Nico's testing repository. It's not included by default in OpenWrt White Russian.

Thanks for helping me. The FTP Server works great! But now i can see everythink that is on router. Is it possibly to create users which have different rights in writing reading and are only allowed to see one directory? Or is there a manuel for vsftpd?

http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html

I think its very dificult to setup the vsftpd server can anybody help me with that?

I want that the connection to the ftp server is aktive at port 12001 and has a port range from 12002 -12009.

I want that anonymous login can only see every think that is in a directory /mnt  and in directorys what are a class upper, they are not allowed to write or download anything in these directorys.

Guest login have a password they have the same rights as anonymous login but they have also the permission to download in the directory /mnt and to write in a directory /mnt/upload and a class upper.

Root login is like it was, he has all permission.

The logfile from the ftpserver should be in a directory /mnt/log but guest and anonymous are not allowed to see the directory, only root is allowed.

Ok that was it can annybody help me out how to setup the vsftpd.conf file? Or has anybody a configfile that is like that then i would fix to that i want to have.

I think to setup the router shouldn't be that hard I found a tutorial about it.
My new Problem is that I can't mount my USB-Stick or better said its a usb mini harddrive.

All that i got by "dmesg" is:

usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
usb.c: registered new driver hub
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
USB Mass Storage support registered.
uhci.c: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v1.1
device eth0 entered promiscuous mode

but he doesn't find my USB-Stick. fdisk -l has no results. What is my problem? Could it be that it isnt a stick? its a mini usb harddisk.
