vsftpd bash ftp command not found
hellow everybody,
iam new to linux and using centos 6.2. i had install successfully vsftpd in my local machine. rpm -q vsftpd vsftpd-2.2.2-6.el6_2.1.i686 and it is running service vsftpd status vsftpd (pid 1880) is running... chkconfig vsftpd on my local ip is :10.10.10.163 and i have created account guest while trying to login ftp from guest, this error occurs: [guest@workstation Desktop]$ ftp 10.10.10.163 bash: ftp: command not found so can anyone give me instruction to run ftp on local machine or do i have to install ftp client if yes is it possible to install ftp server and client in one machine. i'll be greatful any kinds of ideas and suggestions are welcome. thank you in advance. |
Hi there,
You're on the right track. vsftpd is the FTP server, and you do need to install an FTP client too. To answer your question, yes you can install both a client and server on the same machine. Hope this helps:-) |
Code:
# yum install ftp |
thankx,
cliffordw and Satyaveer Arya for your quick reply. i have installed vsftpd and ftp on my local machine # rpm -q vsftpd vsftpd-2.2.2-6.el6_2.1.i686 # rpm -q ftp ftp-0.17-51.1.el6.i686 while iam trying to start,stop my vsftpd it works service vsftpd restart Shutting down vsftpd: [ OK ] Starting vsftpd for vsftpd: [ OK ] but i can't start,stop my ftp using "service ftp start or stop" # service ftp start ftp: unrecognized service # service ftp stop ftp: unrecognized service # service ftp status ftp: unrecognized service do i have to start ftp or it run automatic. if i have to start ftp client how can i do that..? and i have one more questions the following are /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers, /etc/vsftpd/user_list and /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf respectively # cat ftpusers # Users that are not allowed to login via ftp root bin daemon adm lp sync shutdown halt news uucp operator games nobody # cat user_list # vsftpd userlist # If userlist_deny=NO, only allow users in this file # If userlist_deny=YES (default), never allow users in this file, and # do not even prompt for a password. # Note that the default vsftpd pam config also checks /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers # for users that are denied. root bin daemon adm lp sync shutdown halt news uucp operator games nobody # cat vsftpd.conf # Example config file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf # # The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid.

Login failed. userlist_enable=YES and userlist_deny=YES. if both userlist_enable=YES and userlist_deny=YES, any users created in local machine can ftp in local machine, if iam not wrong. but i can't ftp using different users and i haven't edit vsftpd.cond. what i want to do is, i want to ftp on my local machine using different user accounts so how can i do that, can any one help me i'll be greatful and any kinds of ideas n suggestions are welcome THANK YOU IN ADVANCE |
Hi again,
To answer your first question about the ftp service: The ftp client is not a service that needs to be started. The package contains the ftp client command you are using. For the khem user the problem does not appear to be related to the user_list or ftpusers files, as it would not prompt you for the password it that was the issue. It appears to be related to the home directory. Can this user log in on the console or via ssh? For the guest user I'm not sure what the problem is. Which shell are you using for that user? Does the user have a password or not (I'm asking because some distros apparently ship with a guest account with no password, and pam might not like that for insecure connections). |
Quote:
ftp package which I mentioned in my first post was for ftp client. And if you want to ftp with the user 'khem' and 'guest', you should have these user's entry in /etc/vsftpd/user_list. Your /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file's entries are all right. And also make sure that these users are already created by super user means by 'root' with their respective home directory. Good Luck! |
thankx,
cliffordw and Satyaveer Arya for your quick reply. the first and second post is for cliffordw and satyaveer respectively. 1) for cliffordw i haven't change vsftpd.conf, user_list and ftpusers, when iam trying to ftp with users 'khem' or 'guest' the following error occurs: trying to ftp with user khem it prompt for password after inserting password the error 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/khem, login failed # ftp 10.10.10.161 Connected to 10.10.10.161 (10.10.10.161). 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2) Name (10.10.10.161:khem): khem 331 Please specify the password. Password: 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/khem Login failed. and again trying to ftp with user guest # ftp 10.10.10.161 Connected to 10.10.10.161 (10.10.10.161). 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2) Name (10.10.10.161:khem): guest 331 Please specify the password. Password: 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/guest Login failed. the same errors occours as user khem. ABOUT CONSOLE OR VIA SSH, my local ip is 10.10.10.161 now iam login with user guest and trying to login with via ssh with my local machine [guest@workstation ~]$ [guest@workstation ~]$ ssh khem@10.10.10.161 khem@10.10.10.161's password: Last login: Fri Apr 20 18:41:04 2012 from workstation [khem@workstation ~]$ hope user khem can login colsole or via ssh, if iam not wrong i just try it by googeling. iam using default centos 6.2 shell may be it is bash. ya both user khem and guest have password. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) for Satyavee as i follow your guidelines given in above post i have insert user khem and guest in /etc/vsftpd/user_list and i save it and exit # vsftpd userlist # If userlist_deny=NO, only allow users in this file # If userlist_deny=YES (default), never allow users in this file, and # do not even prompt for a password. # Note that the default vsftpd pam config also checks /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers # for users that are denied. khem guest root bin daemon adm lp sync shutdown halt news uucp operator games nobody after save and exit i have restart vsftpd # service vsftpd restart Shutting down vsftpd: [ OK ] Starting vsftpd for vsftpd: [ OK ] and trying to ftp using both user 'khem' and 'guest' respectively ftp using khem # ftp 10.10.10.161 Connected to 10.10.10.161 (10.10.10.161). 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2) Name (10.10.10.161:khem): khem 530 Permission denied.

Login failed. ya i have created user khem and guest by root user and i gave password to them once again thank you for your ideas and suggestions, can anybody guide me to configure ftp by analysing this post. i'll be greatful. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE |
hi everybody,
i am here to announce that i have solve my problems: # getenforce Enforcing If it's in enforcing mode, we need to check if ftp_home_dir boolean is set to on: getsebool -a | grep ftp_home_dir If that's off, turn it on to allow ftp user's to get into their home directory: setsebool -P ftp_home_dir=1 lastly i remove user 'khem' and 'guest' from /etc/vsftpd/user_list and save it, # ftp 10.10.10.161 Connected to 10.10.10.161 (10.10.10.161). 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2) Name (10.10.10.161:khem): khem 331 Please specify the password. Password: 230 Login successful. Remote system type is UNIX.
