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

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

Hi ALL I'm using vsftpd as FTP server, and I'd like to chroot my FTP users to their home dir.

Hello, I have setup a centos server running 5.5 and I have a problem with the FTP settings. Currently I have two FTP accounts based on that server, they lead to: /home/bella /home/carmen Currently the FPT accounts starts in the home directory when they are logged in. But they are able to see all directories on the server. What can I do to make sure they cant come out of there home directory?

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 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

hey friends, I am using vsftpd version 2.0.1 on Centos4.0. I am trying to create some virtual users who can upload,download and delete the files in their particular directories. I followed the below link to create the virutal users http://linuxsir.zahui.net/html/23/43449.htm I have created a user called "tester" and the entries in the tester file (/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_user_conf/tester)

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 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 am in the process of bring up Centos 5.5. My ftp server is vsftp. When I add a user (e.g. brian), the "brian" directory is owned by "brian" and is in the "brian" group with 700 permissions. However, using a FTP client, the user "brian" can view all of the directories. I do not see any directive in vsftpd.conf to limit this. What have I missed?

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

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:-

Hi, I'm currently setting up a local FTP server, to receive disk images sent with G4L (Ghost4Linux). This server has been running Slackware Linux before, and the Vsftpd setup was relatively simple. With CentOS things seem to be slightly different, so I'm currently trying to work things out. For the moment, two things seem to be creating problems, the simple iptables firewall and
