I had set up my ftp server a while ago, but reformatted my hard drive and started from scratch, and there is something I'm missing when setting the options for vsftpd that is screwing up my ftp service.
Every time that someone goes to my ftp site it only allows anonymous logins...(it complains when you put a user name and password) and on top of that it doesn't allow the anonymous user to change anything in the pub (the folder that comes up) no matter what i do... does anyone have any ideas?
The options in the conf file had been changed to just that, and yet it still says that the ftp server is anonymous only... is there something i have to do to reload the configuration file?
Ok so i am using init.d to control vsftpd so i set listen to no... i checked the status of the service vsftpd and it sais "vsftpd dead but subsys locked"... what does this mean?
EDIT: by the way, now vsftpd seems to restart just fine (i restarted)... yet though i changed /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf to strictly disallow anonymouse users, it still says its an anonymouse user only ftp service
EDIT AGAIN: well the status of the service was "running" until i restarted the service, then it went back to the dead but subsys locked message... then after that it wouldnt restart correctly again >.<
