Help for vsftpd

Hi
Several weeks now i am trying to configure vsftpd under suse 10.0. I have installed the package coming with suse, i have written the script suggested at novel cool solutions so the server will run when tha machine boots and i have editted the config file. But nothing. I suspect is the config file. Can anyone give me a sample of a working config file for anonymous ftp? or any other useful idea
Thanks

Hey,

Post your vsftpd.conf file over here.

By default anonymous access is allowed but only for downloading the files not for uploading the files(as per Redhat Linux).

Type the url on ur browser
ftp://urserveraddress/

You will see a directory pub.For allowing the others or anonymous access to this directory you have to change the chmod from 770 to 744 on pub.

I have configured Vsftp on Fedora Core3.

Ok, dude, just look at the config file.

For vsftpd to run on startup, you don't specify in the vsftpd config file, but in your init script manager or whatever your distro uses, consult distro documentation.

When the server is running, the vsftpd.conf comes into the game:
fire up your favorite editor (vim ) and change these lines:

# Allow anonymous FTP?
# anonymous_enable=NO
anonymous_enable=YES

# since we are running anonymous, we don't need local users logging in
local_enable=NO

# Allowing this when anonymous is a BAD BAD BAD idea
write_enable=NO

# Warning: YOU MUST CREATE THIS ACCOUNT.
# This is the user that ftp will lock into a chroot jail
# and only allow downloads from it's home directory.
# Create this user and set it's home to your ftproot.
ftp_username=ftp

# put whatever cool stuff you want here
ftpd_banner=This is my server, enjoy

# set this to where you want to be the document root of your anon login
anon_root=

now save this file and restart vsftpd. It should work.

hey,

What error you get when you tried to access your vsftp server

ftp://server/

check the logs of vsftp

tail -f /var/log/message
tail -f /var/log/vsftpd

try to login from command prompt or shell
Do you get any error while connecting through command prompt
Did you check the firewall whether port 21 & 20 are open or not and also tcp wrappers host.allow file has the entry for vsftpd

You could also look at man vsftpd.conf for more details, generally the default config file works without any tweaking to start up the server, then if you want to allow certain accesses they're easily set in there.

Also, I've given this link before, but let me look it up again :

That site is great for beginners, I know my teachers back in college pulled a lot of labs from that site and used it for reference.
