This is an attempt to make a Vsftpd+pam_mysql+MariaDB server easier to manage.

Check app.cfg for configuration options.

This is a module that handles user creation in DB and in system.

This interface works with the DB schema in tools/vsftpd.sql.

Here are two tools that I generally install on the server like this.

Either install these modules globally or in a virtualenv.

• mysqldb
• sh

Then symlink the tools from /usr/local/sbin like this.

sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/vsftpd_adduser /home/me/vsftpd/tools/adduser.py
sudo ln -s /usr/local/sbin/vsftpd_deluser /home/me/vsftpd/tools/deluser.py

Modify the paths to where you store the cloned vsftpd repo.

If you're using a virtualenv then modify app.cfg and uncomment the virtualenv line while also setting it to the virtualenv you have created where the above modules are installed.

virtualenv: /home/me/.venvs/vsftpd/lib64/python2.6/site-packages

Note that the above example is for a 64-bit system.

Also you can symlink app.cfg from /etc/vsftpd/app.cfg for global scripts.
