<font size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I use, and
LOVE, vsftpd. Most distro's are starting to come around to it,
including many BSD's. It is VERY secure, hence it's name: Very Secure
FTPd. Instead of pasting or attaching my config's, grab them at:<br>
<br>

<br>
Those are, with some minor changes, exact duplicates of what I'm
running now... and I've run them on an ISP's servers with better
results than any other FTPd in their situation. I use vsftpd for my own
use now, but my current company uses ProFTPd for it's virtual hosting
abilities.<br>
<br>
You should also make sure that /var/ftp and /usr/share/empty exist.
For more info, check out vsftpd's website at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://vsftpd.beasts.org/">http://vsftpd.beasts.org/</a>,
and more specifically:<br>
<br>
Permissions and necessary dir's/perm's:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="ftp://vsftpd.beasts.org/users/cevans/untar/vsftpd-2.0.3/INSTALL">ftp://vsftpd.beasts.org/users/cevans/untar/vsftpd-2.0.3/INSTALL</a><br>
<br>
Online vsftpd.conf man page:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html">http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html</a><br>
<br>
If nothing else works, it'd be my guess that your file system
permissions are incorrect.<br>
<br>
BTW, my configuration locks users into their home dir's and runs in
standalone mode. It will start with root priv's, in order to listen on
the unix port, other than that, it runs as the user, or as user "ftp".
Check out the doc's on it's security model. I feel this is the most
secure ftpd out there... but that is my own opinion...<br>

<pre wrap="">I have a student trying to configure an FTP server for
uploads. It's fedora core 4, using vsftpd. when we
try to upload after configuring a user on the linux
box, we get an error, basically 'you don't have
permission' ===>"could not create file"
Throwing security to the wind (right now the machine
is in 'impossible to hack externally' mode (xover
cable between ftp client and server)) we tried to
allow anonymous uploads, made sure the target
directory had the proper permissions (overkill at
777).
Still no joy. Can anyone tell me what I am
forgetting? It has to be something obvious and stupid.
Thanks!
