I have installed vsftpd and I configured the whole package and everything worked. But, after a reboot, it doesn't work anymore. Vsftpd is running. When I do "telnet localhost 21" the machine gets connected to localhost. It also succeeds when I type "192.168.2.10" (my internet IP address) or "86.80.107.30" (external IP address). So the connection is fine. I configured vsftpd to allow only given users, in this case the user bourne. Everyone else isn't allowed to use vsftpd. My main account is stan. So when I connect to the machine via SSH, I'm logged in as 'stan'. When I try to log in to the FTP server with "ftp localhost" and I fill my own username I get an error message saying permission is denied, I don't get a chance to enter my password. When I fill in the username 'bourne' it asks for a password, I enter it, and I get the message 'login incorrect'.
But now it's getting weird: When I switch to the user bourne in the shell by 'su bourne' and enter the same password for FTP, I get logged in as bourne. Then, when I enter 'ftp localhost', fill in the username 'bourne', enter its password, the login is succesfull! It doesn't matter where I connect to (local IP, external IP, localhost, or computer name) I get connected with the user bourne as long as I'm logged in to the shell with this user. Otherwise it doesn't work. Does anyone know why? Below is the config file of vsftpd:
I'm having a peculiar problem. I have VSFTPD working and everything works great on my local network! The only problem is that I can't get PASV mode to work over the WAN.
I've tried everything:
- making sure the pasv_enable, pasv_min_port, and pasv_max_port variables are set in vsftpd.conf
- punching holes in Shorewall for these ports via rules
- setting up port forwarding for these ports in my routers (although this might be unnecessary)
The problem, is PASV mode works fine when I access from either router (my server is behind two routers but not from my WAN IP. Could this be a problem with my ISP?
I just made a Ubuntu Server install in a virtual machine and am having trouble setting up FTP to transfer files. I've installed LAMP and vsftp. The web server works great, but FTP gives a connection refused error locally and remotely from the host machine. 'Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".' nmap localhost doesn't list FTP as open even though I have vsftpd set to listen. I've tried restarting vsftpd with no luck.
I set up a ftp server using VSFTPd. Remote connections are working fine. I can connect then create, rename and delete folders. I can upload files without any issue. BUT, each time i connect directly from the server (with the command "ftp localhost") i can't upload files either delete them. The only thing i can do is create folders. I'm getting error code "553: could not create file" when trying upload files. I triple checked the rights, everything is OK. I disabled SELinux (even if i don't like it). The weirdest thing is everything's working fine from remote host.
I'm running vsftpd-2.2.2 on Slackware 13.1 and I'm behind a NAT with a dynamic IP. I'm using pasv_address, which makes it necessary to have a crontab that checks whether my IP has changed, and if it has, edits the conf and restarts vsfptd. It's hackish but it works. I have also enabled FTPES on the same port that normal FTP runs. I have allowed only the 5001:5003 ports and I am aware that the recommented is 50 ports. However I never had an issue with the transfers since I'm the only user and have at maximum two simultaneous transfers.
I can connect remotely with FTP and FTPES with every client I tried but I'm having issues locally. FileZilla refuses to connect on FTP and FTPES. WinSCP can connect on FTP but not FTPES. Issues are gone if I enable pasv_promiscuous, which the manpage strongly recommends not to use unless "you know what you're doing". I don't. Why is this happening? And, can I fix the local connections without resorting to pasv_promiscuous?
Here is my config and log files from a failed local attempt.
When ever i try to login to my ftp server(linux, fedora) through filezilla or cuteftp then its giving error even if login details are correct. Its are working fine locally but remotelly its giving error when ever i try to connect to it using external ipaddres or domainname. the error is as follows Status:
Connected with [URL]. Waiting for welcome message... Status:Connecting to host1.domain.com ... Response:220 (vsFTPd 2.0.5) Command:USER test
But if i try to connect to ftp server via brower(internet explorer or mozilla). ITs working fine.I dont know what is the reson behind this. few days back it was working fine through filezilla or cuteftp. proxy setting are also fine. its the same which i was using few days back.
every time I try to connect to the ftp server I setup i am recieving this error Response:*** buffer overflow detected ***: /usr/sbin/vsftpd terminated Error:Could not connect to server
I have installed vsftpd by "yum -y install vsftpd",disabled anonymous login and set .When I use a linux client's file browser to login using a user account "ftpacc" by ftp://ip_address, its location is "/" instead of /home/ftpacc".When I use a window client to login, its location is "/home/ftpacc"
I need to get a FTP daemon running on my computer, so I tried to install vsftpd It worked, but later I wanted to try pure-ftpd so I removed vsftpd. Then I discovered I wanted to go back to vsftpd, so I removed pure-ftpd. Now when I type
Code:
sudo apt-get install vsftpd
It returns something like this
Code:
nossr50@robert-HAL9000:~$ sudo apt-get install vsftpd [sudo] password for nossr50: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
I am building a new server on Rackspace Cloud. When they create an instance, it is a raw install. I have several other instances running Ubuntu 10.04 with vsftpd running just fine.But I have an app that doesn't like php 5.3 so I created a new server instance with Ubuntu 9.1 and php 5.2.Here is my problem... I install vsftpd EXACTLY the same way I've installed it dozens of times on Ubuntu 10.04. But when I try to access it, I get an ERROR 500 "vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in 'ftp_username':ftp. I'm SURE I'm using a valid username & password.
My problem right now is i'm trying to configure vsftpd to work with ssl.
My vsftpd is configured with virtual users and everything works fine (without ssl). I can ftp to the server from a client on the same network.
Now when i try to enable ssl, the server won't start at all. Actually, if i run service vsftpd start, it look like it is starting, but if i check the processes, vsftpd is not there, and obviously, if i try to ftp, it fails.
So as soon as i turn ssl_enable=YES in vsftpd.conf, vsftpd won't start
The only message i get is in /var/log/daemon.log init: vsftpd main process (6407) terminated with status 1 init: vsftpd respawning too fast, stopped
I recently installed vsftpd and can't see any files I put in the nopriv_user folder.
I want to be able to login anonymously without a password, see files to download and upload files to a pub folder.
After installing and configuring vsftpd I created the ftp_priv user by doing "sudo useradd -d /home/ftp_priv -m ftp_priv". Then I added a folder /home/ftp_priv/pub with permissions 777 and a test file.
How can I log into VSFTPD using a local account? Every time I attempt logging in using an existing Linux user account, I get this message: Code: Status:Connecting to 192.168.100.102:21...
I'm using vsftpd on my server. When I connect (using file-zilla) from other computers on the same network I can't download any files. I can upload, create directories, and delete stuff, but I can't download. I've disabled anonymous access and enabled local user log-in. My /etc/vsftpd.conf
Code: # Example config file /etc/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 was recently assigned to enchance a ftp-server with SSL/TLS support. When I started investigating I found out that the server is a virtual (openvz) ubuntu machine with vsftpd. Enabling ftps was easy enough, I just added the following lines to /etc/vsftpd.conf
# Example config file /etc/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.
In my house I have a small computer running ubuntu karmic that works as a server/media center.
I would like to have a folder (my ~/public folder) openly available to the entire world via anonymous ftp.
I have read somewhere that the defauld vsftpd config is basically this: no local user login, anon only and sharing a folder called /home/ftp, but I can't get this to work.
i have a server and im trying to use ftp to edit my website with dreamweaver. im using vsftpd and i have access where i can read all the files but i cant add any. any clues?
I made a "test" server recently, put a samba + apache + vsftp server on it. The first 2 work but the VSFTP server is troubling me. On my lan it works. but on a wan: My ISP blocks port 21 so I changed it to 2200, my friend tried to connect earlier (With "ftp://myip:2200") and he had to type in a name and password, he did that (I made him an account)he got 425 failed to establish connection. Now I Re-installed vsftpd again, did the exact same thing and now it just wouldn't connect. saying the webpage can't be found. Question 1: What should I do to let a user acces from outside of my LAN? I think it's because of passive mode: but I have no idea what ports I should open for passive mode? My ftp port is 2200.
FileZilla tells me. Entering passive mode Command: List And than that it can't find directory's
Connecting remotely through FileZilla works ok, but I can't connect from localhost (FWIW I'm running WordPress and would like to be able to upload plugins from the dashboard).
I've got vsFPTPd installed and - I think - running:
Code:
# service vsftpd start vsftpd start/running, process 25782
All ok so far... however I can't see it on any of my ports:
Code:
# nmap localhost Not shown: 995 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh
[code]....
And of course if I
Code:
telnet localhost:21 That's 'Connection refused...' Nothing in 'netstat --listen' either.
The odd thing is, I can connect fine using FileZilla.
I'm running ubuntu 11.04 on two computers, and I had two ftp-servers running fine and well. But then, after a computer reboot, I'm not able to boot the servers anymore.
Code: root@kjellern-lima:~# service vsftpd start vsftpd start/running, process 2552
It says it starts running, but if I try to connect to it, or run:
Code: root@kjellern-lima:~# netstat -a | grep ftp nothing happens
1) I want when someone trying to access my ftp domain(not from my home network) ,to ask him for username and password.
2) What is the difference between filezilla and vsftpd?They do the same job?(Ok,i added a user with vsftpd and now,what?)(Filezilla works and i can upload files)
3) When someone tries to connect to my domain(outside of my home network) it shows the "It works" page.When i access my domain from my pc it shows me the files i uploaded!How can i fix this???
4) When i try to connect via another pc (in my home) ,it shows the routers interface!
5) Filezilla works with SSH but when i try with FTP or when i use the wizard connection manger it shows the "connection timed out".I use shorewall and in the shorewall/rules i have "HTTP..SSH...FTP".
I've just installed the vsftpd service on ubuntu 9.10.
in /etc/vsftpd.conf local_enable=YES write_enable=YES
and I have restarted the vsftpd with "sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart". I could login with a username but couldn't display any file. Got the following error
I am currently using vsftpd with ssl support.Currently when the certificate expires I have to generate a new certificate and distribute that new certificate among the clients.Ideally I would like automatic renewal of the certificate and that certificate to then be transferred to the client upon connection.
I just set up my own server and basically my folder is on say /media/disk1/ and my girlfriends is on /media/patato/ is there a way i can set it so that if i log in it goes to my folder and if she does it goes to hers.... I've currently got it set up as /media/ that it goes to but i cant get it to change it for each user (we can also browse each others drive and we dont want that, we want to be tied into /media/ourdirectory and all of its subdirectories) problem is that it is running on a computer that use to be functional (same install because I cant find my disk drive) so it cant use home folders....
Hope you can help me out. I'm trying to setup a "drop-box" on ubuntu 9.10 server with vsftpd. I'm able to login and land in the /home/user directory, however I cannot write anything.
I have installed vsftpd and would like it to be completely accessible to the world, but each time I test connect it propts for username / password. config:
I installed VSFTPD via: sudo gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf
I can start/stop using the following: sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop
By default, the daemon loads at boot but I don't want/need it to. I executed the following command thinking it would stop it from loading at boot code...
Can anyone tell me how to stop the VSFTPD daemon from loading at boot?
