Hi Vivek and company,

Great post, tahnk you very much!

Unfortunately I am getting the ugly “553 Could not create file.” (extract from the vsftpd.log) each time that I invoke the “put” command from my client.

I am being successfully logged in…

“USER lurodrig”
Wed Dec 14 15:17:41 2011 [pid 28055] [lurodrig] FTP response: Client “ftpServerIp”, “331 Please specify the password.”
Wed Dec 14 15:17:50 2011 [pid 28055] [lurodrig] FTP command: Client “ftpServerIp”, “PASS ”
Wed Dec 14 15:17:51 2011 [pid 28054] [lurodrig] OK LOGIN: Client “ftpServerIp”
Wed Dec 14 15:17:51 2011 [pid 28060] [lurodrig] FTP response: Client “ftpServerIp”, “230 Login successful.”

…And I am in my home directory:

user/l/lurodrig > ls -lrt
total 5
drwxr-xr-x 2 lurodrig it 2048 Jun 2 2011 private
drwxr-xr-x 3 lurodrig it 2048 Dec 13 09:16 public

But at the end: FAIL UPLOAD

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Luis

If I follow these steps to modify vsftpd.conf, the I get FAILED notes when I try to start the service. Does it matter where you put this lines in the config? I would think so but as far as I understand its just not working. "log_ftp_protocol" and "chroot_local_user" don't exist in the config to begin with so I have no idea where to but them, ore why the service is failing but its only when I add these line that the service fails to start.

Hi there…

I just read your article and It made me want do ask you. I want to have an FTP server where only certain people can have access on it. Should I turn off the anonymous user? what is the benefits of having anonymous user as enabled and not enabled ? what is the configuration so I can have users upload and download the file??

Hi can we allow a local user named “guest” to access only a particular directory?

Read up on the area about chroot_local_user=YES

By: Matthew

You need to set the local_root= to the directory of your server where you want them to access it, it is noted in the set up that you usually change this to your HTTP server root.

example:

local_root=/var/www/html

Great tut. I am new to the server world and was wondering how to specify where a user goes when they log in. Right now, they go to a weird //root directory with a .bash_history,.bash_logout,.bash_profile,.bashrc in it. I am using Cent OS 5.5 and followed the vspd setup and your tutorial to a tee. Any help would be great. I am thinking it might have to do with apache setup maybe, not sure.
thanks

I want to restrict the user to their home directory.
they should not even able to read the other content in the server.

Please let me know how we can configure this.
