vsFTPd Problem
I am able to login to my FTP server and see my local directory for the user I am logged in as (pwd command).
As you can see I am able to talk to the FTP server since it lets me login and then puts me in the correct file path (/home/carlos). Can someone tell me what the issue is? http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14.../ftp_error.png I also get the same error via a GUI FTP client. |
Post your /etc/vsftpd.conf file here. Also see your /var/log/vsftpd.log for errors
Is this happening only on the windows machine? or the linux box too? |
I don't have another Linux machine to test this from to see if it is a Windows problem so I have created a generic account if anyone would like to try and login.
http://carlwill.dyndns.org Username = linuxusr Password = ftptest In the /home/linuxusr dir. there is a linux.GIF file and I would like to know if anyone is able to download this file and or upload a file to this directory. Please let me know the results or attempts. Here is my vsftpd.conf 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 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.

This is disabled by # default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large # sites.

It's hanging with ls whether I use passive or not. Usually this is a firewall issue.

You may want to post the contents of your vsftpd log as well. Have you tried logging in locally (ssh, keyboard) and trying ftp 127.0.0.1 and using the username/password specified? |
Are there any files inside of /home/linuxusr/ ?
I see that linux.gif and drunk.jpg are in /home/carlos/ |
no, the only file in /home/linuxusr is that linux.GIF.
/home/carlos/pics/drunk.JPG is under carlos but for some reason I can't download them... I don't know anything about IPtables so I am still lost. |
Humor me if you would:
Code:
cd /home/linuxusr/ |
Here is a working anonymous only, passive only vsftpd config file.
In addition it only allows 3 users (each user uses 2 connections: 1 data + 1 control) each limited to 11KB/s download. ftp has group ownership on the folder, and permissions are set to 755 on that same folder. Additional security may come from placing the ftp folder on a partition that has execute permissions disabled, but I am not totally sure of that. Make sure that the user account exists for the no_priv user also. Last but not least Code:
man vsftpd.conf Code:
# Based off of /usr/share/doc/vsftpd-1.2.2/examples/INTERNET_SITE_NOINETD/vsftpd.conf |
Did that config help you any? vsftpd still giving you problems?
