hi everyone

i have configured the file vsftp.conf with the directive
anon_root=/d_drive/linux_apps
d_drive has only read access for the normal user..
after starting the server and openig it in browser iam getting error message
================================================================================
An FTP protocol error occurred while trying to retrieve the URL: ftp://13.2.2.38/

Squid sent the following FTP command:

PASS <yourpassword>

and then received this reply

OOPS: cannot change directory:/d_drive/linux_apps

================================================================================

PLEASE HELP ME TO RUN FTP SERVER

thanks in advance

You probably need to allow group read access for the anonymous ftp user account being used, usually ftp, both the user and group called ftp.
