Ubuntu Servers :: Can't Connect To FTP Server Running Vsftpd
May 29, 2010
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 am trying to run two different copies of vsFTPd service in the same server, one for IPv4 and the other one for IPv6. Because as I know that you cant run one vsFTPd server for IPv4 and IPv6 in the same time.
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'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.
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
I have used for a long time Filezilla FTP Server on a windows server, for multiple users in my company around the country.Lately the windows box died and I said let's try ubuntu server 9.10. I configured to my best as a Samba file server and from a speed point of view it works even faster than the Winbox.Now getting to FTP setup, I had the following problem when setting vsftpd.How can I enable more directories for the user, each with its own rights. By example, in Filezilla I had two folders for each user: one was a specific folder in which he could also write, and the other was read-only. They were setup with aliases, so that when user login, he sees one continous list of folders.I tried with symlink, but couldn't do it. Also I searched through the man page but also did not find something specific for this task I would appreciate any help you guys could give me in order to solve this issue, using the best practice for vsftpd. Also note that I am open to other FTP servers as well.
I'm completely new to Linux/Ubuntu, but I managed to create a FTP server by using apt-get vsftpd or something.I followed a tutorial and modified a file called vsftpd.conf.I tried to disable all kind ofblocking/permissions. From a Windows client, I can connect to it without any login (I enabled anonymous) and I can download from it, but I am unable to modify it or upload files. Unless there is a better way to transfer files between the computers, how can I enable writing on the FTP server?
This may sound stupid but I've got to ask. Can I connect multiple computers running Ubuntu & run software from one computer from the other? I know how to connect using SSH & to copy files back & forth but I don't know how or if I can share programs.
My goal is to connect up a bunch of CentOS 5.6 servers to storage array which is running as an SRP target. These servers will be running eventually as Xen hypervisors. I'm using Mellanox Infiniband cards and a Qlogic Infiniband switch.
OFED drivers are already installed as standard. I have done the following.
1. Base install of CentOS 5.6 X86_64 2. Installed the following packages...
openib ibutils srptools infiniband-diags opensm
[Code]...
It works perfectly and connects to the target immediately with great results. I'd just like this to happen correctly on startup.
To work around the issue I have added the line srp_daemon -e -o into the init script for opensm /etc/init.d/opensmd but it doesnt always start the srp_daemon process. Its rather hit and miss
I'd really like srp_daemon to run as a service with a proper init script but I wouldnt know how to write one. I understand that this issue has been addressed in the RHEL6 srptools package but that doesnt help me because the software I intend to use on these servers specifically requires 5.
i've set a server Fedora 11 using Vsftpd + database berkley + ssl 'certificate) he works perfectly. So i wanted to set a new one on Fedora 14, there is the problem..On my fedora 14, i tryed to use the configuration file that i've made on the F11 but withtout success. It seems that when i activate the SSL option on the server it does not want to start anymore... and i have no errors messages. I notice that when i desactivate the SSL "ssl_enable=NO" my server on F14 can start normaly.
I have vsftpd executable with config file.I have put the vsftpd.conf file in /etc path on target board. vsftpd. conf file has option "listen=YES" for running standalone.but when i run the executable(standalone) it is not running. It is not giving any error message also.
I had my Ubuntu Linux 8.10 Server working fine. I moved the location. The only change was the IP. I changed interfaces to reflect my new IP. Everything works except now I can not connect to my server using my laptop running XP. Before the move I had no problem connecting to the server with my laptop. Windows can see the server but will not connect. Can changing the server IP affect Samba?
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 have an application running on a Solaris 10 server and I am getting the display on my Ubuntu notebook (10.04 lucid with kernel 2.6.32-23-generic and GNOME 2.30.2). But the problem is the fonts don't display well. So I tried to connect to the font server running on the Solaris server.
I've been the las 4 days setting up my first VPN (OpenVPN bridged). The server is up and running OK but when I try to connect I've got this message in the client log.
Quote:
TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity) TLS Error: TLS handshake failed
I have a private server which I stream media from, but since I've installed VMware running Windows 7 and set up Windows to used a bridged connection, so I can access the network drives in Windows. Now that I have done that, I cannot connect to my home server unless I have VMware running.
I only want windows running when I need it, but I need access to my server at all times.
I am merely trying to change the port for my ssh server.However it isn't changing.I edited my ssh_config file to:
Code:
# This is the ssh client system-wide configuration file. See # ssh_config(5) for more information. This file provides defaults for[code]...
When i try to connect to my server via port 443 i get a connection refused error. However when i try to connect via port 22 it connects. Since that didn't work, i tried restarting the entire server.To restate, i changed the config file and restarted ssh then the computer, however the port didn't change.Ohh and yes my router is set to port forwarding on port 443, though it doesn't matter since I'm inside the network.
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 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've been trying to set up a FTP server for some quite some time and i keep running into problems. I'm trying to set it up via gadmin- proftpd but even with that i cant get it to run. Can anyone point me towards a good how-to or just help me out? I'm kinda new to Linux and this is my first go at servers so i really have no clue here.
I am the new user of linux and installing eclipse IDE in the ubuntu server10.10.

After installing sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-jdk, java is not running in my ubuntu server10.10. and got error like this
$ java -version Error: could not open '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.21/jre/lib/i386/jvm.cfg' $ javac -version
When I set up Ubuntu 9.10 Server I didn't enabled Russian Letters, and now I need them. The only language is English. So when I type in Russian there are some symbols. So how can I install Russain Letters on the running server.
whats the type of server/software that colleges/schools/uni's use to have all their software in one place and students connect to that server(s)? and is it available to use for ubuntu server? I'm running a file server using proftpd and a web server using apache2 so i know how to go setting them up basicallyI want to be able to have all my software, for windows machines, mac, linux all available on one or multipul server to connect to from inside or outside of my network.or even, have all my files, docs, ppt, etc on the local computer then access the software through the server.is this possible with linux servers? and can someone give me a heads up.. I'm not sure where to start atmI've tried looking for file servers but I just get ftp, or samba server tutorials.
I'm trying to open up some ports to connect via vnc to a server running Centos 5.5. I've edited /etc/sysconfig/iptables everything *looks* fine, but I still can't seem to get access to the port I've opened (I added some newlines for clarity between commands):
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.
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.
