Hello guys,

Does anyone know if it is possible to authenticate an ftp server
(proftpd or vsftpd) based LDAP Samba 4?

Thanks

Why would you *want* to? FTP handles passwords in clear text. FTPS can
be done more securely, but there are so many different technologies
called FTPS that it's confusiong.

In general, I've tossed FTP out the window and go with HTTPS based
access, including WebDAV over HTTPS which works very well for uploads.
It's the technology underlying Subversion source control web access,
and it's a lot easier to deal with the firewalls and managing web
based access.

No. But you can authenticate an ftp server via pam_winbind feature included
in Samba4 (or order version of Samba).
