I'm taking my first swing at setting up an anonymous ftp server using vsftpd. Am controlling access at an IP level via my firewall, so the ftp server doesn't have to be secured itself (probably should but we'll worry about that later). I'm allowing anonymous uploads and directory creation. I want to make the default ftp folder /home/ftp. So far I've edited the vsftpd.conf file to allow anonymous, anonymous uploads, anonymous directory creation, changed the home directory of the ftp user in /etc/passwd to /home/ftp, changed the ownership of /home/ftp to the ftp user, and did a chmod 733 on /home/ftp. When I try and connect to the ftp server via ftp, I get the message:
500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with write able anonymous root logon failure, so quitting I know I'm missing something really stupid here but can't think of it. Help! :) Thanks in advance, Stuart -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
