Server :: Vsftpd - 550 Permission Denied For Upload
Feb 1, 2010
I've got that vsftpd running on a ubuntu 9.10 machine. Although I cannot upload any file, I always get a "550: Permission denied"-error.
Code:
# Example config file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
#
# The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file
# loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable.
# Please see vsftpd.conf.5 for all compiled in defaults.
#
And I added umask 022 to the user login script problem I have: I login with user and password that exists as a local user on my suse machine. I can read and download from my homedirectory, but I cannot upload with filezilla. Then I get the error: 550 permission denied critical file transfer error
I am trying to wade through the semanage jungle to get permissions for a tftp client. I followed the HowTos [URL] but I get the following at the client:
tftp> status Connected to 192.168.1.101. Mode: netascii Verbose: off Tracing: off Rexmt-interval: 5 seconds, Max-timeout: 25 seconds tftp> get hello.o4 tftp: hello.o4: Permission denied
I finally figured out that the firewall directives shown at the end of the HowTo refer to semanage although the options are stated incorrectly according to the man page for semanage. I did insure that the file hello.o4 in /tftpboot has read permission for everybody.
I have proftpd @ Ubuntu 9.04 server. It authenticates users via Auth file, e.g. those are "FTP only" users, not real linux users. Each of them has assigned home dir in the same auth file. They also get Chrooted into it, e.g. default dir is ~ in proftpd.conf They can connect and download files successfully, however, they cannot upload anything or create directory: 550 permission denied error.
When I login via ssh and change user to proftpd user, I can create directories in that particular place, so I guess it's not Linux permissions problem? Or is it? /var/log/daemon.log is the place where proftpd stores its logs, but I cannot find anything relevant there
I have got centos 5.3 running on my system. I have installed vsftpd and created a separate folder to upload files (upload folder created in/var/ftp/pub). From my client end I can download ftp files but when I try to upload files from my client I get a error message 550: permission denied. The upload folder has full permission ie 777. Checked the ftp config file everything looks ok.
I ftp into the server and see the files, but when i try to make a directory or upload a file it returns an error saying that permission is denied.I am wanting the users to be able to log on with their user account and then be able to have full control over their directories. What can i do to fix this problem?I have enabled port forwarding for ftp. What else is there i can do? If you need any extra information, let me know! I would like to get this fixed asap!Here is my vsftpd.conf file.
# Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf # # The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file
I have a vsftpd server configured and I cannot upload using anonymous account, I've trawled the net have have exhausted my search for answers. Here is my vsftpd.conf file
Code: # Example config file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf # # The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file # loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable. # Please see vsftpd.conf.5 for all compiled in defaults.
I've been trying to set up an FTP server for a client, which is something I haven't done before. Things seemed pretty straight forward at first, had everything working, but now I have just one last minor problem.
I'm using vsftpd as my FTP daemon. I managed to configure it to allow only user to log in, I have write enabled, etc. Now, this server is in the 172.16.10.* range. I have servers in two other ranges that need to connect to it and down-/upload files. These ranges are 192.168.15.* and 192.168.16.*. The ones in 192.168.15.* are physically in the same location as my FTP server. The ones on 192.168.16.* connect through a VPN, using a Netscreen 5GT firewall.
Up to this, no problem yet. The problem is this:
I tried the following from the 192.168.15.* range:
- connect: no problem - login: no problem - list directory: no problem - download file: no problem - upload file: no problem
Now I tried all of this from the 192.168.16.* range as well. Everything checked out except for one tiny crucial thing. I'm not allowed to upload files, I get "550 Requested action not permitted". I login under the same user I've verified I get the correct directory listing, so absolutely everything checks out to be the exact same.
I've only recently encountered this problem with vsftpd when I was creating new ftp accounts. I keep on getting:
550 Access Denied.
on every action I try to do on ftp, no matter what. I've been trying to solve this myself however my attempts have been futile.
The permissions, and ownership have been checked and rechecked tens of times now, so thats not the issue. I've reinstalled the OS of my server twice now, and the problem is still persisting. Heres my config file, this isnt for anon by the way.

I have a user (let's call him John) who is not able to list contents of several 777 directories even though it appears he has permission to.
Case in point, as root:
Code:
Code:
If I use ls -a or strictly ls as john, I can list the contents of the nss directory:
Code:
That says to me that I have an issue listing permissions. Fine, I don't really need john to be able to list permissions. I want him to have rwx access to /media/nss/ENG which as you can see from my listing as root shouldn't be a problem since the perms on that dir are 777.
I am able to CD into the ENG directory or any other directory or subdirectory in /media/nss that has equivalent 777 perms, but once in the directories I can't list the contents:
Code:
I can get anywhere and do anything I want under the media/nss folder as john, except listing files. I even tried using an ACL i.e.
I am trying to give an SSH user on my server permission to compile C exploit with gcc, and I have had no luck. Every time i try to run gcc i get: "sh: /usr/bin/gcc: Permission denied. Has anyone else had this problem with this ?
I am getting permission denied after su - <username>. I have checked the permission and did not get any error.
[root@NF-Provider-SOC /]# su - nfadmin -bash-3.00$ cat /var/log/messages cat: /var/log/messages: Permission denied -bash-3.00$ pwd /home/nfadmin -bash-3.00$ which bash /bin/bash -bash-3.00$ crontab -l cron/nfadmin: Permission denied -bash-3.00$ id uid=501(nfadmin) gid=503(nfadmin) groups=502(dba),503(nfadmin) -bash-3.00$ tailf /var/log/messages Cannot open "/var/log/messages" for read Permission denied and permission in home dir is 755.
I installed proftpd on a new CentOS 5 server, yet when FTPing in (I can log in fine), the files and directories do not list and I get a "550 filename: Permission denied" error each time I try to "put" or "get" a file (I can tell that the file is there, though, because if I try to access a non-existent file, I get a "No such file or directory error" instead of the permission denied error).
fresh install of ubuntu karmic server. fresh, vanilla install of openssh-server attempt to connect either via standard ssh, linux client or puTTY win32 client system (both on local LAN)
First connect is great. connection established.
Second connection (via multiple clients) screams that: "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!" and since I have strict checking, won't let me continue.
So, i do a little
Code:
To flush it out (i have backups,).
Then i try again:
I get the typical "Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?" and i say yes. at which point, i offer the password for the username in question and it flat out refuses: "Permission denied, please try again."
Ok, so i have even gone as far as do a complete rip and replace of the ssh server and it's config files, however this continues to loop and repeat.
So, question one: Why does my key change?
Question two: Why am i getting "permission denied" errors on subsequent connect.
Short version:I began getting "out of space" errors on my soho server this week. I know I only had about 300Gi of data on the 640Gi drive. I can't find what's using the extra space. As the attached screenshots show, "sudo xdiskusage" finds a block of 223.7Gi with "permission denied" but sudo Disk Usage Analyzer doesn't see it. What is using the space, and how do I reclaim it?
Long Version:I first tried to figure something out using SSH and the df and du commands, but my command line knowledge is weak. I tried to log onto Gnome to use its console but kept getting booted back to the GUI login. After deleting some old files using Webmin, I finally was able to log into Gnome and use some GUI utilities. As you can see from the screenshots, "sudo xdiskusage" finds a block of 223.7Gi with "permission denied" but sudo Disk Usage Analyzer doesn't see it. The system behaves as if that block is real denying me use of that space.
I suspected the manner in which I've mounted the second HD for use as backup storage only might be the problem, but really have no clue how to confirm that. The system returns the same numbers regardless of whether the second drive is mounted or not.
I've attached the dmesg results in a text file
Computer Details Ubuntu 10.10 4Gi RAM 1 640Gi HD mounted as / 1 640Gi HD mounted as /backup (used only by Simple Backup) Running Server Apps: Samba, Apache, SSH, mySQL, webmin
I just set up a storage server with NFS sharing. Everything work fine but, when trying to mount the remote partition on my ws, this is the issue: /usr/sbin/start-statd: line 8: /sbin/rpc.statd: Permission denied /usr/sbin/start-statd: line 8: /sbin/rpc.statd: Success mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking. mount.nfs: Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start statd.
I tried so to mount it locally : mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting localhost:/var/ftp/pub /mnt I don't think it depends because of the permiss of the directory, and anyway it's 1777.
When trying to mount samba share off of domain member server sysimage in Windows receive error "There are currently no logon servers available to service this logon request". When trying to mount.cifs from PDC to samba share on sysimage receive error "mount error(13): Permission denied".
PDC is ClearOS 5.2 named "dc0" Samba file server is CentOS 5.5 x86_64 named "sysimage" dc0 Samba version is samba - 3.5.5-1.1.v5.i386 sysimage Samba version is samba-3.0.33-3.29.el5_5.1.x86_64
dc0 is configured correctly to my knowledge, windows machines can join domain, domain users can log into windows machines, user directories are mapped properly, logon scripts run properly. sysimage ldap authentication is set up as shown in "Procedure 7.1.
I'm trying to setup a network boot server and I'm having an issue with tftp. In the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file, I added the "-v" (verbose) option to the server arg line so that i could figure out what was happening. When i looked at the /var/log/messages log file, it let me know that permission was denied to /tftpboot/nbi_img.
So, in short, my problem is that tftp isn't working because it doesn't have permission to /tftpboot/nbi_img. I can't figure out why. I stumbled upon a site where the user figured out a temporary fix to this issue and what he did was disabled the xinetd service and typed the following command:/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l -v -v -s /tftpboot/nbi_imgWhen I do this as well, it works! but only until I restart and then I have to do that again. Is there a way to be able to fix that for good?
I am working currently on my server on an issue, I configured the SSH Deamon that only people who have a valid ssh-key can login on to the server, and kicked the password option. Now I've added a user account git. I navigate to his home folder created the folder ".ssh" and created in that folder the file "authorized_keys" I copied my public key in there. Now on my local machine I added that identity (via ssh-add) and I wanted to connect to my server. but when I'm trying to login myself I can't the only message I get is "Permission denied (publickey)."
Is it possible to SSH to a remote computer from within an SSH session? I'm connecting to my home server via SSH, and trying to connect out to my VPS. I know the key.ppk file works, as I can use it to connect directly from my PC. The output I'm getting is shown below:
Code: # ssh -i key.ppk -v -l myuser myuser@domain.co.uk (tried various ways of doing this)
Code: OpenSSH_4.6p1 Debian-5ubuntu0.1, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to mydomain.co.uk [123.456.789.012] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: permanently_set_uid: 0/0 ..... debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed debug1: read PEM private key done: type <unknown> debug1: No more authentication methods to try. Permission denied (publickey). There's nothing I can see in the auth.log file on the VPS.
I have created a basic ssh server and i haven't done any configuring to it other than to port forward port 22. i am trying to connect to it from a client computer (they are on the same router). i enter the command "SSH <IP of the server>", and it asks me for the password. i have tried "SSH <my user name>@<IP of client>", but it says permission denied.
I have configured samba server.My requirement was that the path which i have to share was /srv/www/htdocs.With this the shared path for developer user was /srv/www/htdocs/projects.
So in the smb.conf file i made the entries as following:
After that root user was able login to both /srv/www/htdocs and also project folder and developer was only able to login to projects folder.That was according to my requirement but now the problem is that when developer is trying to edit any file in projects folder he is getting error that you dont have permissions to change this file.But developer should be able to edit any files. What changes i need to do now.
I'm sooo exausted after two days of fooling with this. The problem: Apr 27 17:29:21 mxkasib dovecot: lda: Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: Permission denied (euid=8(mail) egid=12(mail) missing +w perm: /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb, euid is not dir owner)
Obviously, dovecot-lda, instanced by postfix, couldn't access the auth-userdb file because of permission. There are plenty of topics over the internet, the problem is really simple. Except for I've got all the permissions needed, or it seems to me so and I'm missing something. Here is some additional information:
[Code]...
I've given all the permissions I could imagine. It's even devil 666, and it still complains.
