Hey guys , I'm new here and specially top newbie with linux ,

basically what i did :
connect in root mode , install vsftpd then go to filezilla ; enter the host which is this ip 95.130.10.217 and name of the server plus the password but this is what get :
Status: Connecting to 95.130.10.217...

yum install vsftpd

Response: 530 This FTP server is anonymous only.
Error: Could not connect to server

and yes in the vsfptd.conf anonymous are = NO

so where is the problem ?
sorry for my English

Welcome to LQ!

Few things, you need a regular user besides root to safely connect to the service, if anonymous is not allowed, strongly recommend to do that.

In the vsftpd.conf:
To enable local users to log in:
you need this in order to be able to connect as local user in its directory:
Hopefuly this will do for more info read the manual:

thx uki for ur help , i just found how to connect , in filezilla i switch the protocole from ftp to sftp , so now i can connect , just one things i can see everything and download everything but i can't write any file in the server so how to fix that ?

Status: Creating directory '/Data'...
Command: cd "/"
Response: New directory is: "/"
Command: mkdir "Data"
Error: mkdir /Data: permission denied
Command: mkdir "/Data"
Error: mkdir /Data: permission denied
thx

edit : okey now i can connect with ftp \i did put "tilde_user_enable=YES"/ thx , but still i can't remove or add anything , i can just download or see files so where can be problems ?

uncomment this one an check your ftp home dir permissions before trying anything.

hey sabhi yes i noticed that i didn't remove the # thx , and btw for the write access denied thing i used chmod -R 777 and yeah it's working so basically i can create a folder then use this command and put whatever programme or website , games i want then i m good it is not risky ? especially i ll use my server for team speak plus download location for my gamers friend ?

Just a note: if you put sftp in the Filezilla settings, that means you are no longer using FTP, rather you are using SFTP. SFTP is a service that runs over SSH (the software you used to log in to the server.) FTP is usually used for making files available to the public.

ohhh i suspect this !!! you may need to read more on SFTP.
