Another vsftpd question
Hey guys. New to linux and going through a few books to start my own server. I installed vsftpd on my (mint) server. It was working for anonymous access only. I changed the config file to NO for all the anonymous options. I then couldn't FTP.
Things I've tried: Stop/start Restart reinstall changing the config file again checked logs - nothing in them besides the login attempts from when it was working. The service doesn't seem to be running. What information do you need to help me out on this one? I've pasted some info below. Also, again - forgive me. This is my first week with Linux. Thanks for your help in advance. Code:
nathanhyland@nathanhyland-dell / $ sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart Code:
nathanhyland@nathanhyland-dell / $ ps ax | grep vsftpd Code:
listen=YES |
It may not be starting up correctly according to your post, try looking at /var/log/messages for any vsftpd errors
|
What exactly are you trying to achieve? If you block anonymous users, and have not configured vsftpd to permit one or more other users, then who do you expect to be able to use ftp?
|
Code:
nathanhyland@nathanhyland-dell /var/log $ less messages.1 | grep ftp Also, I blocked anonymous then when I noticed the service didn't even truly start, that's when I changed it back. Is there a way I can get an original config file somewhere? |
This should be the default:
Code:
# Example config file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf |
