PureAdmin is a user-friendly software tool for managing and keeping track of your PureFTPd ftp server. Its interface offers a graphical approach to server administration and monitoring.
The PureAdmin project boasts a user manager, providing an all-in-one solution for effectively managing users. You can also view activities such as uploads and downloads with ease, as well as monitor log files in real-time. One of the benefits of using PureAdmin is that it is not dependent on GNOME, only requiring GTK+ 2.x. This software has been developed with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines in mind, making it a true powerhouse in graphical utility design.
In this release, new features have been added to improve the overall user experience. The new system changes needed before using the user manager are now displayed, which is incredibly beneficial. Additionally, a progress bar now shows download/upload progress.
Several bug fixes have also been implemented in this release. For example, Pureadmin no longer fails due to the pureftpd activity directory not existing. On Ubuntu, this directory is automatically removed on reboot and created upon the first FTP login. PureAdmin now understands this process, significantly improving its functionality.
Moreover, it now offers much more robust handling when creating ftpuser/ftpgroup accounts and ftp directories. The improved debug output also makes it simpler to enable debugging without the need for a re-compile. The software now checks /proc to determine whether pureftpd is running or not, which is more reliable than relying on the PID-file.
In conclusion, if you need a reliable graphical utility to simplify the administration of your PureFTPd ftp server, PureAdmin is an excellent choice. Its array of features and recent updates make it an essential tool for any server administrator.
