Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. I have installed vsftpd-2.0.4 using the instructions from BLFS-svn-20070111.
I would like to enable users on this machine to upload files to /somefolder/www/ Unfortunately I don't know how to configure /etc/vsftpd.conf to allow this. Every time I try to connect (using gftp) I get 530 Login incorrect. Disconnecting from site ********* My current /etc/vsftpd.conf is set up as follows: anonymous_enable=NO local_enable=YES write_enable=YES local_umask=022 dirmessage_enable=YES xferlog_enable=YES connect_from_port_20=YES background=YES listen=YES nopriv_user=vsftpd secure_chroot_dir=/var/ftp/empty local_root=/somefolder/www/ I have the impression that I may need to configure Linux-PAM-0.99.4.0 to allow users to login to ftp, but I'm not sure about this since no mention is made of this in BLFS for the Linux-PAM instructions or vsftpd instructions. The vsftpd bootscript has been installed and vsftpd started. I have even tried to use a working vsftpd.conf from a working setup on a suse-10.2 box and that didn't work, but that had a configuration for PAM, hence my thinking along those lines. I've had a look at the example configs in the vsftpd source tree and tried man vsftpd.conf and I'm still none the wiser. Can anyone help me with this or at least point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance. Gordon -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
