Hello everyone !

I have Asus RT-AC1200GU with ssh access. I don't know what kind of linux is installed.
uname -a
Linux (none) 2.6.36 #1 SMP Fri Nov 9 19:58:54 CST 2018 mips GNU/Linux

I am trying to edit vsftpd.conf file
I can edit and save the configuration file, but don't know how to reload it.
Try several commands like kill -HUP, killall -HUP, killall -1, without success.
After router restart, it reloads original vsftpd.conf, somehow reset my settings.
There is /jffs partition, which I understand is writable, with two files inside -> nmp_client_list and syslog.log

Also after every restart I have to enter this command manually -> arp -i br0 -s ipaddress macaddress

There is cru installed. I try with
*/10 * * * * arp -i br0 -s ip mac
but static route was not added, after router reboots.

Is there anyway to make my changes permanent?

Thanks in advance !

I suggest you to use the GUI of the router. It has a very special configuration and it is definitely far from the "usual" distros.
here you can find some info: https://mycyberuniverse.com/linux/fu...mand-line.html but you may need to look for other info too.

Hello.
I can't connect using telnet, so used ssh access.
I have no output for command "flash all". When I type "flash" I get this:
One of the problems is that I can't passive ports for /tmp/etc/vsftpd.conf.
I can edit the file, but cannot restart ftp server. When changes are made, after reboot all gone.

yes, this is the way how it designed/works. /tmp contains only temporary files, all these settings are generated. That's why I suggested you to use the GUI of the router to make permanent changes.
the flash command is not really the tool you need, you may kill your router with that command, be careful.

Ok, but router somehow safe changes after reboot - for example ip, password and etc and etc.
Can they be found somehow, where I can edit files, so changes be kept?

Thanks !

Is there some reason you're so averse to using the GUI that was designed to do exactly that?

For example static route after system reboot.

For example grilled cheese? I'm totally baffled by what that reply is supposed to mean...

The OP is trying to make a static route from command line. I'm kind of surprised that Asus kept ssh in.

Because you are running an odd version of linux on a special file/storage I assume these are the correct instructions. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/ad...-server.45298/

To be fair, I know that, I was asking why he doesn't just use the GUI (which Asus HAS that ability in the GUI in most of their routers), so it seems he just wants to avoid the gui, I was wondering WHY since they kinda created it specifically to AVOID having people mess around in ssh...

My impression: The OP doesn’t know how to use the GUI.
netaccs, using a web browser, enter http://IP-of-router Example... http://192.168.1.1

I know how to use the web gui, I made all the settings from there.
Just asus this asus router doesn't support static route using the gui.
If static route is not configured, Wake up on lan (wol) packages are not passthrough.

So... if in /jffs partition I create "scripts" folder it should be read it by the system?

I agreed to the comment of using the GUI. You need to login properly in the GUI by looking in the codes and implementing them properly. Thanks for the link and the solution for solving this router problem.
