How to change default /var/ftp/pub in ftp(vsftpd)
 
I'm configuring FTP server on my computer by using
vsftpd rpm package. How can I change the default shared
path i.e. /var/ftp/pub

There should be a vsftpd.conf somewhere (probably in /etc/). You can use locate command to find it. I think you can specify the shared directory there. You will have to read the man pages though.

I am currently out of touch to my computer so may be I am not of much help. Some one can reply you better...

From the vsftpd.conf manpage:

Quote:
ftp_username
This is the name of the user we use for handling anonymous FTP.
The home directory of this user is the root of the anonymous FTP
area.

Default: ftp
So you may want to try /home/ftp, and the config file is /etc/vsftpd.conf

Hi,

Yes you can defiantly change the default directory from /var/ftp/pub (for anonymous user)to any of your choice. Just add the directive anon_root = <path to directory> in the vsftpd.conf and you are good to go.

Thanks
