document ftp server doesn't bind if another service listens on e.g. 127.0.0.1:8021

[jehan]

Tested with server and addons 5.0.1.0.

If you install the document addon the ftp server allways binds to 0.0.0.0:8021. If you have another service listen on e.g. 127.0.0.1:8021 the ftp server seem to bind to no address. Sometimes it is necessary to let the document ftp server bind to a specific IP only. E.g. bind only to 127.0.0.1:8021 or 192.168.1.1:8021 if want ftp access only from and to localhost or in a LAN network.

To reproduce this:
- make a fresh install of openerp
- install document addon
=> 0.0.0.0:8021 is occupied by the document ftp server

- make a fresh install of openerp
- let another service listen on e.g. 127.0.0.1:8021
- install document addon
=> the only service listening on port 8021 is the one listening on 127.0.0.1:8021

You can set another port for ftp server in openerp server configuration file.
ftp_server_port = <your port>

This is interesting, I looked at the server options and haven't found
the option - maybe there should be a descriptive text if you call
openerp-server.py --help.

BTW: is there a option to change the ftp server interface also? I think
this is an important security related feature.

[Harry (OpenERP) (hmo-tinyerp)]

Yes. this option is not available in server options list. b'z this option is for document module. so. it is not display in 'openerp-server.py --help'

and currently , does not available option to change ftp server interface. Yes you can create blueprint for this suggestion.
