Access recordings via FTP on localhost

Postby dspaan » Thu Jan 24, 2019 10:56 am

I have an NFS mounted on my vicidial server where the recordings are being placed through a symlink for /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE/MP3.

I would now like to use the AST_VDsales_export.pl script so the sales are placed in directories that can be accessed by a supervisor through FTP. What is the best way to do this? I noticed there is a config file for vsftpd in /etc/vsftpd.conf and when i start the service i can do ftp to localhost but it's unclear for me what the user is or if i need to make any other configurations to run a local FTP server.
Regards, Dennis

You must create an user for it, and read here /etc/vsftpd.conf the settings.
Also, yast has a GUI that helps to create an FTP user

Vicibox's install script will auto-activate and configure vsftp for you. Always say yes to this feature when offered. It's much simpler to turn off the vsftp service after installation if you don't want to use it than it is to get vsftp operational if you say no. lol.

plus: recordings should NOT remain in MP3. They should get pushed to the ftp server which will store them in "daily folders". It's also a bit simpler to have that FTP service on a different HD (mounted in /home) or even on a completely different server. This reduces the restore time of the Vicidial HD in case of a server death (archive servers die, too, but there's even a redundant ftp method in Vicidial for easy "Just move the redundant HD into the primary server" recovery!).
