 Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 7:49 pm Post subject: ftp with dyndns, vsftpd and ddclient |
 |
|
I want to host a ftp-tree on the dyndns host physicsmastah.homelinux.com for which I have registered but I can't get it to work. When I point my browser to http://physicsmastah.homelinux.com it says "401 The web site is blocked by administrator". I really don't know how this is going to work at all. For example where do I add the files that I want shared? I have a working samba sever for my homenetwork.
Here is my vsftpd.conf. I have just copied the example and a few changes
| Code: | # Example config file /etc/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 THIS: This example file is NOT an exhaustive list of vsftpd options.
# Please read the vsftpd.conf.5 manual page to get a full idea of vsftpd's
# capabilities.
#
# Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this out).
anonymous_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this to allow local users to log in.
local_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
#write_enable=YES
#
# Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,
# if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)
#local_umask=022
#
# Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only
# has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will
# obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.
#anon_upload_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create
# new directories.
#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
#
# Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they
# go into a certain directory.
dirmessage_enable=YES
#
# Activate logging of uploads/downloads.
xferlog_enable=YES
#
# Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data).
connect_from_port_20=YES
#
# If you want, you can arrange for uploaded anonymous files to be owned by
# a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not
# recommended!
#chown_uploads=YES
#chown_username=whoever
#
# You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown
# below.
#xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
#
# If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format
#xferlog_std_format=YES
#
# You may change the default value for timing out an idle session.
#idle_session_timeout=600
#
# You may change the default value for timing out a data connection.
#data_connection_timeout=120
#
# It is recommended that you define on your system a unique user which the
# ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user.
#nopriv_user=ftpsecure
#
# Enable this and the server will recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not
# recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it,
# however, may confuse older FTP clients.
#async_abor_enable=YES
#
# By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore
# the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII
# mangling on files when in ASCII mode.
# Beware that on some FTP servers, ASCII support allows a denial of service
# attack (DoS) via the command "SIZE /big/file" in ASCII mode. vsftpd
# predicted this attack and has always been safe, reporting the size of the
# raw file.
# ASCII mangling is a horrible feature of the protocol.
#ascii_upload_enable=YES
#ascii_download_enable=YES
#
# You may fully customise the login banner string:
ftpd_banner=Welcome to Martin's FTP service.
#
# You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently
# useful for combatting certain DoS attacks.
#deny_email_enable=YES
# (default follows)
#banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails
#
# You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home
# directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of
# users to NOT chroot().
#chroot_list_enable=YES
# (default follows)
#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
#
# You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by
# default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large
# sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume
# the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it.
#ls_recurse_enable=YES
background=YES
listen=YES |
Here is my ddclient.conf
| Code: |
aemon=300
syslog=yes
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
use=web
protocol=dyndns2
server=physicsmastah.homelinux.com
login=physicsmastah
password=xxxxxxx //the actual password
wildcard=yes
physicsmastah.homelinux.com

If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it |

Did you read vsftpd Server
| Quote: | | For example where do I add the files that I want shared? |
man vsftpd.conf
| Code: | anon_root
This option represents a directory which vsftpd will try to
change into after an anonymous login. Failure is silently
ignored. |
I would say the best solution would be if you read those article in the wiki and post a more specific question..
edit: Your ddclient configurations looks good but i have server=members.dyndns.org

Thanks for the tips. I have read the vsftpd HOWTO and come up with this vsftpd.conf
| Code: |
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
xferlog_enable=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd/vsftpd.log
idle_session_timeout=600
data_connection_timeout=120
ascii_upload_enable=NO
ascii_download_enable=NO
nopriv_user=downloader
dirmessage_enable=YES
ftpd_banner=Your Banner Goes Here
chroot_list_enable=NO
chroot_local_user=YES
background=YES
listen=YES
ls_recurse_enable=NO |
I made the change you suggested in the ddclient.conf
| Code: | daemon=300
syslog=yes
pid=/var/run/ddclient.pid
use=web
protocol=dyndns2
server=members.dyndns.org
login=physicsmastah
password=xxxxx
wildcard=yes
physicsmastah.homelinux.com |
I have also added two local users with home directories.
But still when I point my browser to http://physicsmastah.homelinux.com I get this "401 The web site is blocked by administrator" message.
What I don't get is how do dyndns know that I want my vsftpd server on the physicsmastah.homelinux.com page?
I have also tried to connect with one of the users with gftp to ftp-server physicsmastah.homelinux.com but it doesn't work either.
Thanks |

You can not connect over http if there isn´t such a server installed 
Try ftp:// instead of http:// ..
| Quote: | | What I don't get is how do dyndns know that I want my vsftpd server on the physicsmastah.homelinux.com page? |
| Code: | | rc-update -a ddclient default |
The rest will be done automatically ..
Some ideas:
1.) Is there a firewall or sth. similar between your connection ?
2.) If ddclient doesn´t work properly, take the ip as host
3.) Is vsftpd running on the target-host ?
4.) What does the log file says ?
