LinuxQuestions.org - vsFTPd and ftp_ssl

This question is related to vsFTPd and FTP+SSL, not PhP.

I have the following php-code (read a local file and write its contents through FTP to a remote server) :

Code:

$remotefilename="test";

$source = fopen("test.txt","r");

//Opening an ftp connection

$conn = ftp_ssl_connect("192.168.1.150") or die("Could not connect");

ftp_login($conn,"user1","passwd1"); //log in to ftp session

if( !$conn ){

    echo "FTP server connection error" . "<BR>";

    exit;

}

else{

  echo "Connected to FTP Server" . "<BR>";

  echo "conn=".$conn."<br>";

  $putfile=ftp_fput($conn,$remotefilename,$source,FTP_ASCII);

  echo "putfile = ".$putfile."<br>";

}

echo "pwd: ".ftp_pwd($conn);

fclose($source); //close the local file

ftp_close($conn); //close the ftp session

?>

The output is :

Quote:

Connected to FTP Server
conn=Resource id #4
putfile =
pwd:

So it seems that I am able to connect to the vsFTPd-server with user1 but nothing happens...

When using ftp_connect("192.168.1.150") (not ssl) then everything works fine.

I'm a bit confused and worried about the possibility to be able to connect to the server.

My vsFTPD-server has ssl-support built-in :

Code:

[root@server ]# ldd /usr/sbin/vsftpd | grep ssl

        libssl.so.7 => /lib/libssl.so.7 (0x00ec0000)

The user 'user1' has no shell :

Code:

[root@server ]# cat /etc/passwd | grep user1

user1:x:501:501::/etc/dir/addondir:/sbin/nologin

I see nothing in the logfile /var/log/vsftpd.log when connecting with ftp_ssl_connect.

When connecting with ftp_connect, the logfile reads :

Fri Mar 19 09:29:56 2010 1 192.168.1.151 21 /test a _ i r user1 ftp 0 * c

So am I connected to the vsFTPd-server ??
Does my user1 needs a shell (tried it with /bin/bash but no change) ??
Will ftp_ssl_connect work with a local certificate (cd /etc/pki/tls/certs && make vsftpd.pem) ??
Is it not working because my 'user1' is chrooted to /etc/dir/addondir ??
