Sir

I have configured a ftp server in cent os, bu when I access ftp server from client machine using ftp://172.16.0.25 , it autometically opens, not login require. But I want user to put login in the login screen to access ftp from browser.

please help.

Hello,

What version of CentOS and what FTP server software have you installed? Those are the primary things you need to tell us before we can give a dedicated answer. Depending on what FTP software you installed, without changing the default configuration that came with the package, anonymous access will be enabled. So you'll have to configure your server.

Kind regards,

Eric

EricTRA : Your are corect.. what is best vsftpd or proftpd or pureftpd ?

Hi,

I thought you already had some FTP software installed and only needed advice on how to set it up with authentication. So please tell us what you have installed in order to help you with your original question.

If you want to change FTP software and need to make a choice between the once mentioned then I'd say there is not much difference between them. If you want to use system users to allow access you can use either of those three. The only differences (if not solved already) are that ProFTPd and PureFTPd have vulnerabilities while vsftpd seems to be a lot more secure. I personally only have experience with vsftpd and am very pleased with it.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi soumalya,

Again, what FTP software are you using?

Kind regards,

Sorry again

I am using VSFTPD.

Hello,

Open /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf in your favorite editor and change:
to
Restart vsftpd and anonymous login will be no longer available. If you want to know how to set up users, have a look at this page for an example or this site for a more in-depth configuration of vsftpd.

Kind regards,

Eric

Try something like this. chroot_list_enable=YES is the key to have the ftp client jailed to it's home folder.
Then add users that need to be jailed in file /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
One username per line.


listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=002
dirmessage_enable=YES
use_localtime=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
xferlog_std_format=YES
chroot_local_user=NO
chroot_list_enable=YES
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd/empty
pam_service_name=vsftpd
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem
