hi all! i have open suse 10.2 and vsftp. what i want is to set it for ppl to copy files in /srv/ftp (for example) because i don`t have send file on gaim. if someone want to send me a file, i want him to put it on ftp and so i can see it
anyone knows?

Read the man page for vsftpd.conf. It's located in /etc and you'll find a whole bunch of example configurations in /usr/doc/vsftpd-<version>. I hope you have an idea about how to make it slightly more secure than simply allowing anonymous users to put files on your computer.

my /etc/vsftpd.conf file:

Code:

caracal:~ # cat /etc/vsftpd.conf

anonymous_enable=YES

local_enable=YES

dirmessage_enable=YES

connect_from_port_20=YES

xferlog_enable=YES

xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd/vsftpd.log

nopriv_user=nobody

chroot_list_enable=YES

chroot_local_user=YES

background=YES

listen=YES

anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES

anon_upload_enable=YES

write_enable=YES

anon_world_readable_only=YES

no_anon_password=YES

download_enable=YES

anon_max_rate=0

listen_port=21

local_max_rate=0

max_per_ip=1

pasv_enable=YES

port_enable=YES

anon_root=/srv/ftp/anon/

and the result:

Code:

caracal:~ # ftp localhost

Trying 127.0.0.1...

Connected to localhost.
