similar to: VSFTPD problem ?

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::/var/ftp/sdc:/bin/bash ase:x:502:501::/var/ftp/ase:/bin/bash

I am in the process of setting up a new server. In the process I cannot remember what I need to set so that an FTP user cannot move upward in the directory tree of the user's directory. The FTP server is VSFTP. The user's directory is owned by the user and the permissions are 775. Isn't there a setting in httpd.conf to prevent that? Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext

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

I have Centos3.3 installed, vsftpd, apache2, ports 20&21 open on router, firewall disabled at this time : /etc/passwd looks like this --- ftpadmin:x:502:502::/var/www:sbin/noligin uncommented the lines in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf : chroot_list_enable=YES chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list I can access ftp from within network no problem, but using external ip it will validate login

I have a vsftp server hosted on custom dyndns site. We have a 4mb ADSL connection. When I tried to download the files from the ftp server with wan IP address or the dyndns address it downloads some files and disconnects. Please find below an extract from the log file (ace ftp client). I would appreciate if someone could guide me, possibly with a solution for this problem. Many thanks

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

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

More digging (now that I have a better handle on how to ask the question) reveals this bug against documentation and release notes for 7.6 to alert updaters about this breaking change for vsftpd: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1647485 The last comment there, #15 by "Roy": > For a workaround to vsftpd login failures that doesn't expose your system > to the

As a newbie to Asterisk, I'm in love. There is no information discussing the way to use the FTP program vsftpd which is need for phone configurations. So far I've been able to add a user with useradd and add that user to the VSFTPD.USER_LIST and now I can FTP to my Asterisk@home server but need the layout to configure both Polycom phones and Cisco phones if anyone can help? Is there

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

I've got a problem with vsftpd on a new CentOS system. Most users can login and list and everything but when they want to transfer files the client says "transfer failed" or so. However, it works fine with two users. Of course, these two have been created by me and used only by me. So, I didn't detect the problem before other users tried to upload. I tried with the command

No doubt I am making some stupid mistake in the log file, but I cannot get vsftp to create a log file showing the transfers. Here is my conf file: # Example config file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf # # The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file # loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable. # Please see vsftpd.conf.5 for all compiled in defaults. # # READ

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. Today when I try to ftp, i enabled it in xinetd.d (with disable = no and a "service

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 the edits in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf that i

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

Hi, This update is for the HowTo at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Chroot_Vsftpd_with_non-system_users Regarding two of the scripts provided: vsftpd_virtual_config.sh and vsftpd_virtual_config_withTLS.sh: The configuration additions it makes to PAM do not work on 64-bit systems. In vsftpd_virtual_config.sh (Lines 55 & 56) and vsftpd_virtual_config_withTLS.sh (Lines 123 & 124) should be

I have setup an ftp server with VSFTP over Centos 4.4. Everything works fine except when I login though IE it doen' ask for the username password but by default it goes to Pub folder. (/var/ftp/pub). I need to access this through view--> open ftp folder in separate window -> file --> login. In short the server doesn't prompt for username when I type the ftp address on the
