ProFTP -> vsFTP Configuration Options
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

VSFTP/MySQL
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

vsftp
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

vsftp passive mode / iptables issue
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

First SSH now VSFTP
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

VSftp, ssl/tls, slight issue with directory listings
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)

gftp crashing on IPv6 to vsftp
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

vsftp and nonpriv_user option 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'm trying to set up anonymous ftp using vsftp. I want to be able to

security breach - ftp?
Hi,
I'm running Plesk 11.0.9 on a Centos 5.5.
A website on that box got hacked last week and malicious code got inserted
into some html/php files. So I went to find out what happened...
I found no back doors by using rkhunter or manually searching for
suspicious files in /tmp, etc. No activity at all in the php logs at the
time of the attack. I also analysed of course the system logs

Problem with VSFTP
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
