Ubuntu Servers :: Can't Modify FTP \ Managed To Create A FTP Server By Using Apt-get Vsftpd?
May 13, 2010
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?

I am trying to use cron and FTP to backup files regularly from my main server to a backup server. The backup server was a "bare bones" setup with no control panel or even FTP. It is running CentOS 5.3.
I installed VSFTPD which appears to be running OK and I can connect via FTP from my other server, but when I try to run my backup script (it uses mput) I get a "553 Could not create file" error.
Some relevant info:
The user I have created for this is "ftz" with home directory /home/ftz/
Running ls -l shows: drwxrwxrwx 3 ftz ftz 4096 Dec 18 07:46 ftz
so permissions and directory ownership don't seem to be the problem.
vsftpd.conf was left in default form:
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 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 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 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 use my T61 both wireless and in the dock, where I switch to the wired connection. After the latest round of updates, I seem to have lost the ability to switch to the wired network. When I turn the laptop on, I see it connect to the wireless network, but when I left click on the tray icon under Wired Network is says Device not managed. I have not made any changes to anything in the last couple weeks, besides some updates. How do I go about getting the wired network back in there?I tried to add eth0 back into System - Preferences - Network Connections, but whenever I try and add eth0, but it still says Device not managed.

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.

On my Debian server I installed Samba for sharing directories in my local network. I know how to set access rights but I have a problem. I would like to allow an user (example "nobody") to create files or directories in a shared directory but to deny to modify or delete something.How can I do that?Second question, on a file, I know that we can set rights for "u", "g" and "o". But like the NTFS permissions, can we apply rights for each users?

I'm attempting to set up a VPN server on my box using the nifty HowTo posted here: [URL]
My setup is as follows:wifi0 --> Internet; managed entirely via nm-applet (NetworkManager)
Where I'm running into trouble is in the creation of a bridge interface (br0) to bridge future VPN clients to my local network.
The guide(s) say that I need to screw around in /etc/network/interfaces to setup br0 and [eth0/wifi0] accordingly. The problem is that when I specify a configuration of any sort for wifi0 (my only choice for a network uplink), it disables nm and I am unable to configure my wifi in any sort of sane way after reboot... Further info: this "server" doesn't move, and always always connects to the same wifi hotspot that is also nailed in place.

We are looking to monitor and log selected application file systems for file create/modify/delete changes that will also include, user account that changed/deleted the file, file name and date and time of event. Everything I have looked at does not seem to provide all of the information that we need.Inotify seems to monitor modify/create/delete but does not seem to provide the user account. Auditd seems to monitor modify/create/append with user account, but not deletes.We need to provide this information to auditing for Sarbane Oxley compliance.

I'm looking to create a file server of over 24TB+ and was wondering if anyone knew of any barriers to doing this in Ubuntu.
I am considering limiting each server to 8TB, and creating 4 of them. I think once I take into consideration the hardware limitations, and backup (I will need a RAID configuration (still deciding)) then perhaps 24TB in one box is possibly a little unlikely!

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.

managed to screw up the ownership of many directories on a remote server whilst installing a piece of new software. Basically I have set all ownership from / downwards to apache:apache.
Spotted the error quite quickly and managed to abort it, but am now unable to change to root to put anything right. Is there any way to restore ownerships of the underlying Slackware to 'factory default' as it were? Had a quick google and found some links for a script that is supposed to work, but it appears broken,

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.
Here is my /etc/vsftpd.conf file:

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.
To confirm, I have
Code:
local_enable=YES
set in my vsftpd.conf.

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

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".
