Using ClamAV + pure-ftpd ( www.pureftpd.org )in our Fedora 6 Intranet ftp server. It works well, which is having nearly 400 user accounts for students and staff.

Example (We can even write more advance script)

Write the below 2 lines and create a shell script /etc/pure-ftpd/upload.sh (you can name as you like)

#!/bin/sh

/usr/local/bin/clamdscan --remove --quiet --no-summary "$1"

I assume that your pure-ftpd is configured to start automatically when your system boots.

Then create a cron job to start when system boots (I use webmin to create this) with the command as below

/usr/sbin/pure-uploadscript -B -r /etc/pure-ftpd/upload.sh

If a file with virus is uploaded, automatically it will be deleted and your FTP server will be free of virus files

Have a nice day

Works also on Ubuntu 6.06 but then you have to create a new file /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/CallUploadScript with just the word "yes" in it. This makes pure-ftpd start with the ability to use pure-uploadscript at boot. Then create the cron job as mentioned above.

Thanks Mr.Stefan de backer for correcting.

CallUploadScript yes

should be included in

/etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf

in Fedora7 also. I had forget to mention that in my posting.

Have a nice day
