vsftpd; 550 permission denied for upload
hi,
I've got that vsftpd running on a ubuntu 9.10 machine. Although I cannot upload any file, I always get a "550: Permission denied"-error. Code:
# Example config file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf |
I have set this up recently, i took a different approach when it came to users.
I have disabled anonymous users, so I have anonymous_enable=NO I then had local_enable=YES this allowed me to log into my home folder using my own local username and password |
Allowing anonymous uploads is not a good idea.
However, to enable anonymous uploads you need to create a directory in the ftp root directory that is world writable |
thanks, I actually do want to allow anonymous uploads.
I created a directory whithin /var/ftp/pub, which is world-writable. still I got the same error.... |
Did you do
Code:
chmod a+rwx /var/ftp/pub/incoming you need to restart the deamon |
Yes, I tried that; no success... :(
|
I was getting this error because I had special characters in my password, I was sending Pa$$w0rd but the ftp server was receiving Pa4587w0rd or something along those lines.
What ftp client are you using? can you enable debugging to get a more detailed description of what is going on? |

I got the same problem on a RHEL 5.0:
I can login as myself with WS_FTP to the vsftp server on my account. I can download but not upload -- my current folder has 755, my files have 644, and I have all folder permissions from top "/" to this location 755. I looked at the vsftpd.conf but could not figure out which one has control over this. Any advice? Joe |
vim /etc/vsftpd.conf
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command. write_enable=YES and then restart the server sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart good luck |
