Restricting FTP access in vsftpd.conf


Hi ,


I was trying to restrict access to FTP in vsftpd only for 2 users. I did this way.

In /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf , I gave the entries


userlist_enable=YES
userlist_deny=NO
userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd.user_list

Then I added the two users in /etc/vsftpd.user_list who can login to the FTP site.

Saved the file and restarted vsftpd. But when I tried to access the FTP site from a Win 200 pro machine ( It is not even promting for a login) , I got the message:


Windows cannot access this site. make sure you have apropriate Permissions.

Error 530 Permission Denied


Since I have more than 500 users, The other option of making userlist_deny=YES and adding the users to whom I want to block into /etc/vsftpd.user_list is not an easy job.

Please give me a solution to do it the former way.


Regards,

Jomy
