vsftpd read-only/write per user.
 

Hi,

How can I set specific users to have either read-only access under vsftpd or both read and write? The vsftpd.conf file only has write_enable=YES/NO, which seems to apply to all users regardless. Regular Linux file permissions don't seem to work either as if I use chmod a-w * as root, the FTP user is still able to delete the file.

Any help? Thanks.

Hi.

To stop file deletions from a directory, remove write permission from the directory itself - normal Linux permissions should work OK for vsftpd.

Hi

I have a question on vsftpd,

While setting the below settings (vsftpd.conf)

write_enable=YES
listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
virtual_use_local_privs=YES
write_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd
pam_service_name=vsftpd
guest_enable=YES
user_sub_token=$USER
local_root=/opt/ftpimages/teamf/$USER
chroot_local_user=YES
chroot_list_enable=YES
hide_ids=YES
userlist_enable=NO

But, while using FileZilla clinet still I can able to go to other directories like "/, /etc/, /boot" and could even transfer the file to my PC?

Can you advise is there any setting is wrong?

Thanks,
