Hello,

I installed proFTPd, but I made a mistake and deleted the proftpd.conf file in /etc/proftpd.

So the idea was to completely uninstall proFTPd and reinstall it so the proftpd.conf file would come back.

How can I do this?

Regards.

    Normally it should suffice to reconfigure proftpd by running as root: 

    dpkg-reconfigure proftpd-basic

    Or else, the method you suggest amounts to running as root: 

    aptitude purge proftpd-basic
    aptitude update
    aptitude install proftpd-basic

    Good luck
