vsftpd anonymous login

jhthjames · 07-02-2013, 09:18 AM

I am setting up a vsftpd server (in centos) which allows anonymous READ/WRITE.Here is my configuration

Code:

anonymous_enable=YES
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
anon_upload_enable=YES
anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/xferlog
xferlog_std_format=YES
ftpd_banner=Welcome to blah FTP service.
listen=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=NO
tcp_wrappers=YES
anon_root=/var/ftp/

In my /var/ftp/ folder. The permission is set to 777 which is owned by root. When i tried put /file/path/here.txt I am getting 553 error. Are there any setting that i am missing?

your configs look okay.
could it be a selinux issue?

if you're selinux is activated

Quote:

(# sestatus)

I would suggest leaving it on and checking the booleans, I'm guessing the allow_ftpd_anon_write is off.

Quote:

(# getsebool -a | grep ftp)

enable that and see if that works

Quote:

setsebool allow_ftpd_anon_write=on

Hope that helps
