For the migration tool:
There is a option for FTP migration, but I don't particularly recommend it. It doesn't do much. And what it does do, it doesn't do particularly well. On the positive side, getting what you had with NWFTPD out of OES "Novell FTP" is usually attainable now. But it requires getting your hands dirty and do a good review of pure-ftpd's abilities, settings, and methods.
The "Novell FTP" install pattern in OES Install & Config will lum enable pure-ftpd for you (via pam configuration), add some settings to the /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf file for OES specific enhancements, and a few other things like that.
The migration tool does one thing: It looks at a small number of setting in NetWare's sys:/etc/ftpserv.cfg and sets corresponding values in /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf. But there are many settings unique to each, which don't translate. And the migration tool doesn't do all that it could, and it does some things it shouldn't:
- It doesn't turn on all the remote server / ftp gateway / NCP home directory features that you're used to be always on in NWFTPD. In pure-ftpd, you have to turn those on yourself (in pure-ftpd.conf), as they are off by default. As these features are now optional, it was decided to have them default to being off. This keeps ftp server code paths much simpler for those who don't need those features.
- It tends to remove some settings from pure-ftpd.conf if they are set to the defaults. While that won't have any negative impact on functionality, it is annoying for people who like to all the settings in the file, either as examples or to remind them of the current values. If you want to accomplish what the migration tool does without risking those deletions, I recommend you see table 25-1 at the following link. That shows what setting from NetWare are carried into pure-ftpd.conf during the migration process. You can usually do it manually in just a few minutes.
Novell Documentation
And as Ketter indicated in another reply, the OES 11 online doc holds information that will help. Much of the FTP home directory features were added or enhanced in OES 11 SP1, so be sure to use the current doc.
