Error during Filezilla Server installation

[wrkbear]

Desktop Environment Mate

Problem Description:
Installing Filezilla Server I get the error message:
Error: Dependency is not satisfiable. libglib 2.0-0

Relevant System Information:
Intel i7, Ubuntu 24.04, nginx, mysql, wordpress.
Attempting to install Updrafplus in Wordpress in order to download and restore website files, but this requires an FTP server

Screenshots or Error Messages:
What I’ve Tried:
To install updraftplus in wordpress, I installed vsftpd and attempted to configure it to support updraft plus but I’m still getting the message that Updraft plus can’t create folders in the wp-content folder. I tried to workaround that by giving the folder 777 privileges and that didn’t work. I added dtpuser to the www-data group that owns wp-content and that didn’t work.

Having difficulty managing vsftpd I tried installing Filezilla Server, but that’s not working either.

I have found several references to this problem but no solution.

It might be easier to use a different FTP server.

sudo apt search ftp

will show several that are available to you via the repositories you currently have.

I have used vsftpd before and like it.

They all give you this same error? Do you have the same problem with any package?

Have you tried installing the .deb package? Did you download it from the official website or somewhere else?

I just tried the one from the official website and got no issues.

If the .deb doesn’t work, you can also download the tar.xz archive, unpack it and run the server from there.

I’m the lead FileZilla Server developer, feel free to ask questions.
