similar to: vsftpd: transfer of files fails

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

i have been researching for alternatives. it is latest centos 4 (4.7) and uses vsftpd 2.01 started (again) investigating possible PAM or PAM module way... Q: is there a PAM way to control repeated crack retires on vsftpd? possibly something that can be done in /etc/pam.d/vsftpd i have been looking for a solution other than fail2ban and/or similar methods using hosts.allow and hosts.deny or

I am not sure how to correctly troubleshoot this. I just noticed that my /var/log/xferlog file is huge. There are no files in /etc/logrotate.d/ for xferlog. This is what leads me to believe that it isnot rotating. Or perhaps I do not have it set to rotate. I am not sure. I am running CentOS release 5 (Final). Can someone tell me what I, apparently, do not have configured correctly. Thank

I have configured my vsftpd instances to use virtual users and map them to a system user. So all uploads should be written with owner and group of this system user (let's call it ftpsystemuser). But in the the last weeks/months it appears that uploads are written twice, on instance as it should (owner and group of the system user used to map the virtual user that did the upload), and the

Hi folks, I have found the following in my logs: Wed Mar 10 15:52:33 2010 [pid 15232] [uploaduser] OK MKDIR: Client "195.200.70.*40*", "/04 LV gelieferte Daten 04_2010/04 LV Seiten/Jungz?chter" Wed Mar 10 15:52:33 2010 [pid 15231] [uploaduser] FAIL MKDIR: Client "195.200.70.*41*", "/04 LV gelieferte Daten 04_2010/04 LV Seiten/Jungz?chter" Wed Mar 10

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

FTP users can delete files in their home directory they don't possess (including files belonging to root:root!) with vsftpd. I have reproduced that with vsftpd 1.1 on Suse and 2.0 on CentOS. I don't think this should happen at all. I can't see that the documentation at http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html mentions this problem at all. How can I stop this? Kai

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

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 file. The files I copied are:-

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

Hi folks, I can't seem to log into my system via vsftpd. All other services using PAM are fine...Am I missing something simple? ftp> user (username) user 331 Please specify the password.

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

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

The proposed subject of Wiki contribution: Chroot vsftpd with non-system users The proposed location of Wiki contribution: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Chroot_Vsftpd_with_non-system_users I propose this Wiki to give user choice that they can select whether virtual users and system account coexist in vsftpd system. The shell file vsftpd_virtual_config.sh should also adjust to make this function

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

Hello everyone, Please forgive the exclamation points but I have been battling this one off and on for about four days now. Sorry for the cross post. It all started with a box of IP 501s. I contacted my reseller and obtained the latest BootRom and SIP firmware. Unzipped, configured, copied over to my FTP server (running AstLinux, of course). The phone booted, so far so good. Updated
