My vsftpd was working. I use it configured via xinetd and turn it off (disabled = yes) when I'm not using it to keep the bad guys from hammering on it. Recently I upgraded to 4.2 (via yum update). That' the only change I know of on the system. And I didn't have any problems with it. Toda...

I have 1 Centos server V4.x already running VSFTPD and when the user logs in they get chrooted to the home directory, I have installed the same config files to a second server (again Centos V4.x) and have setup the same user on the second server but the user does not get chrooted to the home directory but is placed in /var/ftp/pub and cannot upload...

greetings today i was expanding my knowledge of vsftpd on a low traffic CentOS 4 production environment server i have fyi, i was working on learning to setup a chroot environment by the simple editing of /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf so, as i normally do when i start making changes i did this cd /etc/vsftpd/ cp -a vsftpd.conf bak-vsftpd.conf then i made...

Had two nameservers crash in the last few hours... This 'never' happens! On the console was sent an invalid ICMP type 3, code 3 error to a broadcast: 255.255.255.255 on eth0 sent an invalid ICMP type 3, code 3 error to a broadcast: 255.255.254.255 on eth0 with the IP address of the offender? in front of that line. Any ideas? Best, John Hinton

Hi ALL I'm using vsftpd as FTP server, and I'd like to chroot my FTP users to their home dir. How can I do it? i.e. "jailing" them in their home dir... at the moment I have the following issues the user when they login to ftp server they go to the main directory /var/ftp/ /etc/passwd ... sdc:x:501:501::/va...

I have an up-to-date CentOS 6 with reasonable amount of ftp activity (a dozen of network cameras uploading images every second 24x7). The first issue was that the whole /var filesystem was about to get full, because of huge ftp daemon log. vsftpd.conf says: # You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown # below. xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log Ok, the above works now. But while the setting was (by default) commented out, the default wasn't /var/log/vsftpd.log but /var/log/xferlog which was growing wi...

Hello, Does anyone have this working? I have been looking for a couple of hours trying to find docs on how to set this up and so far the only thing I have found is how to enable ssl in vsftpd.conf. TIA

Hi! I'm trying to figure out what's going wrong with a "simple" FTPS setup and VSFTPD. I saw references on Google and tried, and tried, and tried... without success. I'll start by explaining my situation: I have a WEB development server behind a firewall. It's currently only for the intranet. We now have an external company that will have to do a new website for us...

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with G4U (Ghost for Unix), and I need to setup a local FTP server in order to get it to work. # yum groupinstall "FTP Server" --> installed vsftpd Here's what I'd like to do : * no anonymous access * only one user (user 'install' / pass 'install') The machine I'm installing it on has a static IP ok (192.168.1.252/255.255.255.0). I tried to fiddle with the various configuration options in vsftpd.conf, but to n...

...g list of things i just want to clarify for the sake of future courses taught on centos.) from this RHEL doc page: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-openssh-server-config.html the reader is advised to, for the sake of security, remove/disable vsftpd, ostensibly in favour of sftp/sftp-server. really? i can obviously see disallowing stuff like telnet and rsh and rlogin, that's a no-brainer. but advising against vsftpd for the sake of security? i'm not sure i see the logic in that. thoughts? rday -- ============================...

Greets ... I am not getting it. I have samba (old one, 3.0.22-11-SUSE-CODE10) in an ADS-context, winbind works OK ... I am trying to connect vsftpd to winbind via PAM, this works TOO GOOD ;-) currently I am able to login to vsftpd with ANY password, that's bad. I am not understanding that PAM-stuff and I have some pressure to get that ftp-server up, so please would someone help me out? My file: This one is heavily edited now, as I play...

vsftpd-2.0.1-5 I am trying to get vsftpd to start with ssl_enabled=yes and not having much success. The config file works when ssl_enabled=No and does not work when ssl_enabled=Yes.

...t reboot, the wheels started falling off. The phones would not get changes I made to any of the .cfg files. Several phones would take 20 minutes or more to boot, only to display a "0x4000 config file error". What happened? I have been using various Polycom's with AstLinux (and vsftpd 2.0.3 that I include with it) for quite some time, with no problems whatsoever. Until now. I had been running bootrom 3.0.1 and various versions of the SIP image at several other sites with no problem. At this point I was still unable to accept the fact that I might not be able to run this...

Hi all, I'm sure this is a quick fix, but I've not found the answer yet. On a fresh install of CentOS5, I need to use an alternate port for ftp. Currently vsftpd wants the standard port which is in use by another system on my NATted network. So...how does one go about reconfiguring vsftpd to do this? I've looked in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf to no avail. In my Slackware days, proftpd was able to be configured by editing a single line in the .conf file....

I'm setting up a local mirror server on a CentOS4 box. I want it to serve files over http, nfs and ftp. I've set this up with the mirrored directories on a separate partition. I've got the http and nfs working but am having some trouble with ftp. I'm using vsftpd as the ftp server. I can log in to the ftp server and get to the pub (/var/ftp/pub) directory. However when I try and go to the mirrored directories below this I get a "can't change directory error. The mirrored directories is a symbolic link to the actual directories on the separate p...
