anonymous ftp user only from specific subnet / ips
hi list, I've ftp server, where I want to deny anonymous logins from the outer net, but allow logins of anonymous users from inner net. Normal system users would have ftp access to theirs home directories from both networks. I am using vsftpd, I wanted to configure tcp wrappers, but it does not solve my problem. thank you ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
How-to get anonymous FTP to use port 6021
How can I tell the inetd anonymous ftp server to listen on an different port other that 21. I tried adding port 6021 in the /etc/services file but that did not work. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Don't change the default ftp port number in /etc/services -- instead add your own line, eg: mycustomftp6021/tcp Then add a line lie so into /etc/inetd.conf: mycustomftpstream tcp nowait root/usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l and restart inetd: # kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid` Note that this may well result in port 6020 being used for the FTP data channel -- you'll need to make sure your firewall rules permit that.

Allowing Anonymous FTP
I wanted to see how the anonymous FTP option worked on FreeBSD so I enabled it on my test box. I haven't been able to find out much info about locking down to a default directory. Is there a way to lets say block all directories when logging in and open right up to the /incoming directory? It doesn't seem smart to have the /etc directory visible with the group and passwd file readable. At the very least is there a way to make the /bin and /etc directory hidden?

Thanks Have you read the ftpd man page? Anonymous ftp with a normal setup does not allow access to the system /etc directory. On anonymous login to ftp you are effectively chroot'ed to the ftp home directory and can only see or operate on files in the tree down from that point. From within ftp that home directory (/home/ftp/) appears as the directory /. If you want ftp users to see user and group names from 'ls' rather than numerical identities then you'll need a subdirectory under the ftp home directory called etc and containing a copy of the system /etc/group file and /etc/pwd.db. The password data base pwd.db does not contain passwords coded or otherwise so this is fairly safe. I guess you could also consider constructing special versions of these files for use in /home/ftp/etc containing only the names you want visible under 'ls' to ftp users. You might also need /home/ftp/bin containing a copy of ls to be called when command ls or dir is given in the ftp client.

It depends on which FTP server software you're using. For the built-in ftpd, see ftpd.conf(5), ftpusers(5) and ftpchroot(5) --- but basically you need something like this: /etc/ftpusers: root toor daemon operator bin tty kmem games news man sshd bind uucp xten pop www nobody mailnull smmsp # UIDs for anonymous FTP aardvark allow guest scary.daemon allow guest That's all you need, but if you want to make the FTP session chroot to some other directory, or make the FTP daemon display various messages when the user logs in, use /etc/ftpd.conf and /etc/ftpchroot as well.

My ftp server is started via /etc/inetd.conf with the command ftpd -lS # man ftpd tells me that -lS makes ftpd log to /var/log/ftpd and /var/log/xferlog So perhaps you either don't have -lS enabled or you have to create these files yourself before.

Anonymous FTP
During the original install of FBSD the sysinstall process gives you option to activate anonymous FTP. After FBSD install is complete there is no way to get sysinstall to give that option again. This looks like short coming of sysinstall process. I see /var/ftp and sub-directories beneath it, with an copy of passwd, group and ls and date commands. What is going here? How does inted.conf ftp statement knows to use that area on /var ? Where can I find written description on how sysinstall set up anonymous FTP?

The anonymous FTP behaviour requires that there be a ftp UID in the password file and is triggered by the remote user logging in as anonymous or ftp.
