Im running a game server in my vps. My clients need to access punkbuster screenshots. So i want to give them a link to access that .xml file.
please can you give me the steps to do that.
this is a sample link that one of server provider gave me early. but now this is not working. I want to make a link like this to give to my clients. thank you.
example link - ftp://30:5pkq5o9u@128.100.186.137/pb/svss/pbsvss.htm
You would first need to set up an FTP server on your droplet if you have not already:

The link you have displayed should work with any FTP server. The format is:
ftp://username:password@[ipaddress]/path/to/your/file.xml
Make sure you create a new user account on your droplet for this and do not share your default root account details.
I created a new account and i tried to install vsftpd with sudo apt-get install vsftpd
but its ask for a password for ftp.
when i gave all my passwords i used here it says ftp is not in the sudoers file. this incident will be reported.
