You can listen pureftp on a different port for a certain IP. Not for all IP. By default when you start pure-ftp, it will be listening on default port 21 on all IPs. Say you need to run pure-ftp on port 27 on IP 192.168.1.1, follow below steps. replace the line # Bind 127.0.0.1,21 with Bind 192.68.1.1,27 Copy the startup script. replace $DAEMONIZE $fullpath /etc/pure-ftpd.conf -O clf:/var/log/xferlog $OPTIONS --daemonize with $DAEMONIZE $fullpath /etc/pure-ftpd-new.conf -O clf:/var/log/xferlog $OPTIONS --daemonize Start this. The netstat result will show you the result.

In short, the answer is NO. BTW, if you have limited clients, you can restrict Ftp access to their IPs only blocking everything else.

s-f-r-j, Let us know if the above fix works?

it should be possible with using separate configuration files, so that each configuration file have different port set and that you run new pure-ftpd instance for each configuration file. however you'll need to write your own startup scripts to launch pure-ftpd instance for each configuration file, instead of using default startup scripts which will launch only one pure-ftpd instance.

I was searching for something like this in order to run multiple instances of pure-ftpd without interferring. I have to say, it works like a charm, I know the post is old but thank you for posting it. Note: I did choose a differ auth scheme in the conf file vs the one that is currently running. CaGe ps: to madaboutlinux: you should test things before you post they won't work. It is a nice little piece, logical, so I thought it would have to work and it does.
