similar to: vsftp and "nopriv_user=ftpsecure" question

thhis didnt go through completely the first time. I am a bit confused as to how this works. I created a local unpriveleged user (with /bin/nologin shell). i uncommented the line containing nopriv_user=ftpsecure and restarted vsftp. I am confused as to what is supposed to happen. Shuld the daemon /usr/sbin/vsftpd be run as root or should it be ftpsecure? Or is the account only used to

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

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 am moving from a server from running Red Hat 7.2 (with ProFTP) to Centos 3 (with vsFTP). There is a setting in ProFTP that lets me set the default ftp login directory for a specific user and I would like to do the same with vsFTP. The reason being is I have a 'webadmin' user that I use for uploading web content. I am thinking I could make the home directory of the webadmin /var/www in

Seems the script kiddies are now hitting vsftp with dictionary attacks. I had three boxes showing around 12000 attempts from one IP yesterday. My thoughts are that there should be an upstream solution for this which is then supported by the upstream vendor. Yes, I know there are several 'other' solutions, but I'd really like to stay mainstream and use a supported method for

I'm having an odd behavior with vsftp on all CentOS 4 servers... maybe 3 too, but I'm not on those much. I am transferring in port mode as I've never managed to get passive to work with a firewall running. Anyway, this is what happens. During normal transfers with few files.. it works perfectly. During the transfer of like a large website with hundreds of files in various

HI, I am facing problem in connecting ftp from the windows client. CENTOS5U1 Running vsftp daemon. From linux client i am able to upload and download. When i do an ftp upload of any files or folders from windows command line i am getting below error . *vsftp 553 Could not create file* *NOTE: SELINUX IS DISABLED AND THERE IS NO FIREWALL RUNNING* See my user permission and ownership details

I've been struggling with my firewall and getting vsftp to work in passive mode. It seems that everything on this hosting server works just fine without the eth0 entry in my iptables except for vsftp in passive. Am I opening up too much by adding the eth0 line? -A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT

Centos 6, stock installation, no additional repos added. vsftp works fine in regular mode, going to ssl I got issues. I get as far as 'directory listing' and it dies. It times out and disconnects. file: /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config added: IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_ftp" (without this line, ftp normally fails, afraid it may be causing issues with the ssl) iptables -A

Hi, I want to setup a ftp Server on CentOS 4.4. I will have to choose which ftp is IDLE among 3 ftp pkgs that are vsftp,wuftp or proftp?

I am running vsftp pretty much 'out of the box', though I turned off IPv4 and have it listening on IPv6. I have stopped ip6tables, as the simple rule to enable port 21 is not allowing gftp to connect (pasv mode, I think). gftp to the IPv6 address, it connects and gets a directory listing. I am running gftp from my normal login userid, connecting to my normal login userid on the

I was not sure why vsftp (or any other ftp software) was installed as part of the webserver. some quick notes, hope it helps anyone else having an issue. So I yum installed it. I had a bear of a time. But I finally got it to work doing the following. I had to add ip_conntrack_ftp to my iptables-config file or it would not work IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_ftp" I had to add this

Hi guys, Just a quick question, I've been slowly moving all my user services to mysql backend, I realise it's probably not as good a choice as LDAP, but you tend to stick with what you know. To that end I want to setup both Apache and VSFTP to use mysql db for virtual users. Basically I want to create virtual users that are locked into their own home dir and have apache use mysql to

Hi all, I want to run vsftp behind a firewall.(i.e DMZ zone) . It is runnig as passive ftp. the theroy behind passive ftp is , - FTP server's port 21 from anywhere ( Client initiates connection) - FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1024 (Server responds to client's control port) - FTP server's ports > 1024 from anywhere (Client initiates data connection to

I'm trying to set up anonymous ftp using vsftp. I want to be able to allow uploads. The anonymous id is userid "ftp". The ~ftp/ directory is actually owned by root, but ~ftp/pub is owned by ftp. Here's the vsftpd.conf: anonymous_enable=YES anon_upload_enable=YES local_enable=NO write_enable=NO local_umask=022 dirmessage_enable=YES

I have a linux server connecto into a 100mps LAN, i use iptables implementation of shorewall (shorewall.net) and then I used the wondershaper. When I adjusted the values below, I got a download speed for vsftp at a whooping 1187.91 KB/s but a upload speed is only a painful 27 KB/s. I dont fully understand the underpinng codes behind the wondershaper htb stuff. can someone guide me on how can i

Hi, I want to setup vsftp on centos 4.5. 2 types of ftp. they are active and pasive. What is the default type ftp type o CentOS ? Is is PASIVE ftp? in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf, I found below line.

Hi, I am using LLVM to compile vsftp to native x86 ELF code. One of it's object file (sysdeputil) contains inline asm so cannot be compiled by gcc-3.4 frontend. So I decided to firstly link together the llvm objects and libcrtend and compile it to native .o file and then link it with sysdeputil.o . The Makefile is sth like this: vsftpd: $(OBJS) gccld -r -native -o vsftpd.o $(OBJS)
