vsFTPd : download OK, upload not OK
 
Hello,

I notice that I can download files via FTP, but I can not upload files.

Firewall (iptables) is completely disabled.

Login with my user is no problem.

The only thing I see in the vsftpd logfiles is :

Code:
Mon Oct 10 14:46:40 2011 1 MY.IP.ADD.RESS 0 /file.conf.new b _ i r myuser ftp 0 * i
Mon Oct 10 14:46:40 2011 1 MY.IP.ADD.RESS 0 /file.conf.new b _ i r myuser ftp 0 * i
Mon Oct 10 14:46:40 2011 1 MY.IP.ADD.RESS 0 /files.conf.new b _ i r myuser ftp 0 * i
This are the rights on the directory from which I can download but to which I can not upload :

Code:
drwxr-xr-x  2 myuser myuser  4096 Oct 10 15:47 mydirectory
This from commandline :
Code:
ftp> put file.conf
local: file.conf remote: file.conf
227 Entering Passive Mode (193,110,253,55,211,66)
553 Could not create file.

What is wrong ?

no write rights in the directory (so it appears)
check that first ;)

User has write rights... Where do you see no rights ?

drwxr-xr-x 2 myuser myuser 4096 Oct 10 15:47 mydirectory

r-xr-x it says.. you need to think from the vsftpd perspective, not the user owning the directory.
vsftpd has not writing rights.

Same settings on another server give no problem...

I log in with a user, not with a service. I find your reason very odd.

Nevertheless I have given all rights for user, group and other but still it does not work (as could be expected).

It's not so odd as you might think... since ftp is a service, it was the first thing popping in my mind. (and some service require write access themselves, e.g. apache is one )

but, ok... here is another thought...

Do you have write_enable in your vsftpd configuration file?

Problem was with SElinux.

Thanks for your input.

please mark the thread as solved if it is fixed...

my suggestion would be upgrading to scp/sshfs using keys if possible.
