Vsftpd is the most easy ftp server to setup. Installing vsftpd: On Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install vsftpd On Fedora: (as root) yum install vsftpd The configuration file for vsftpd is located in /etc/vsftpd.conf. The default configuration is a little bit paranoid, not so usable for file sharing. So use this configuration instead: # Put in /etc/vsftpd.conf # Don’t forget to change samurai into your local username listen=YES anonymous_enable=YES local_enable=YES write_enable=YES anon_upload_enable=YES anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES dirmessage_enable=YES xferlog_enable=YES connect_from_port_20=YES chown_uploads=YES chown_username=samurai ftpd_banner=Welcome to blah FTP service. secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd pam_service_name=vsftpd rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem anon_root=/home/ftp Don’t forget to backup before you use this configuration. sudo cp /etc/vsftpd.conf /root/ Now we must make writable directory for anonymous user. cd /home/ftp sudo mkdir opendir sudo chmod 777 opendir/ Ok, I explain this. In my local system, I have user named ’samurai’. With this configuration, I can log into ftp server with local user, that is ’samurai’. ’samurai’ can go anywhere, create files, delete files, etc as long as he has sufficient permission. With this configuration I can log into ftp server with anonymous user ( without username and password ). After logging in, the anonymous user jailed in /home/ftp directory ( pointed by anon_root ). I can’t go outside. I can download files from /home/ftp directory but not create, delete anything from this directory. But I can write and delete files in opendir. If I write files in opendir or upload files in opendir, the files automatically belong to ’samurai’ user. To run this server: sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start To stop it: sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop To restart it: sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart Now it is usable for file sharing -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
