 Posted: Fri Jul 21, 2006 8:57 pm Post subject: Problems with VSFTPD |
 |
|
I'm pretty new to this but I am trying to set up a server with FTP enabled for users only. I edited the vsftpd.conf file to disable anonymous login and enable local users. What else needs to be configured to make this work? Right now when I try to login in it fails.
Here is my vsftpd.conf
| Code: | listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd
pam_service_name=vsftpd
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
|
I'm not too sure I understand what those last few lines are, I based this off of an example vsftpd.conf file I found on the web.
Thanks

An actual error message would be useful, you will most likely find it in your syslog.

Actually whatever was stopping me from logging in I seemed to have fixed. But I have a new problem. I can log in and change directories and view everything, but I can't upload anything. Would this be a user permission setting I need to change?
Thanks

Try "man vsftpd.conf" to see the config file options and what they do. Or go through the example config file in /etc/vsftpd/. I assume you're missing this one:
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
#write_enable=YES |

I can't believe it was something so simple! I can't believe I didn't see that option either. I've been doing this on two computers now for about two weeks and I had the same problem with both of them and I just couldn't figure it out. Well, thank you for your help.
