You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.

For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

RE: Ubuntu: How to Enable tls/ssl in proftpd
Nice Tutorial. Helped me a lot. BUT: There is an error in your tutorial:
Code:
nano /etc/proftpf/proftpd.conf

This Path is wrong: The proftpd.conf can be only found under /etc/proftp/proftpd.conf (without the f). I think it is a literal error.

Best regards,

Felix

Thanks for the post.
Installed on Centos 7 and working fine so far.
Regarding the paths on Centos 7; a folder for proftpd does not exist, so I had to create one before being able to create the ssl folder
