"chroot_local_user=yes" made things work most likely because you were specifying the FTP server directory as /whatever, rather than a path _relative_ to your home directory, e.g., ../../path/to/install/media/

Of the many things I tried, the following seemed to "cause things to work". On your FTP server machine (assumming zLinux): Yast Network Services Network Services (inetd) Enable FTP (vsftpd) Service is active Accept Finish Quit Joe /etc/vsftpd.conf Uncomment: Local_enable = yes Write_enable = yes Chroot_local_user=yes Save I seem to recall that the "chroot_local_user=yes" was the part that did the trick. Without it, I couldn't change to the proper directory. BTW, I also had things setup with mksles9root.
