FC4- VSFTPD GIVING 530 Permission DENIED

stevea86 · #1 24th March 2006, 02:21 AM

I need this FTP up and running for my webserver soon. I cannot get it by myself. I am making an effort to learn but I dont have time to learn everything I need to about linux before I have to have the ftp running for my database programmer to upload.

Here is the vsftpd.conf as it is currently. No matter what, I can connect to the server but get rejected when logging in, incorrect login 530. I have tried everything, I even bought the Fedora Core 4 and RH10 BIBLE, saim info as on the internet.

anonymous_enable=no
local_enable=yes
background=yes
listen=yes
write_enable=yes
local_umask=022
ascii_upload_enable=yes
ascii_download_enable=yes
ls_recurse_enable=yes
userlist_deny=no
userlist_enable=yes

In user_list in /etc/vsftpd I have two local account, both of which have passwd entries in /etc/passwd. Still cannot login, even when using "ftp localhost". Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here?

[root@xxx /]# ftp localhost
Connected to xxx.tampabay.rr.com.
220 (vsFTPd 2.0.3)

That doesnt seem to have fixed the problem, although the commands worked fine.

red_dungeon · #6 24th March 2006, 04:49 PM

I know that this code works... it gives us some "debugging-help"... if you post the output

add

Code:

pam_service_name=vsftpd

to your /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

and restart your ftp server ^ ^

stevea86 · #9 24th March 2006, 06:15 PM

IT WORKS!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH DUDE!! Now, I need to know how to set that users home to be my apache "documentroot", so that my programmer can upload to my webserver. Anything I should know?

stevea86 · #10 24th March 2006, 06:37 PM

ok in users/groups, I changed ftpupload's home to /var/www/html. It successfully changed my ftp DIR, but I can no longer use the MKDIR command, so I am guessing there is a permission problem?

Yes... this is a permission problem...
The user has do be in a group which is permitted to create new directories...

Code:

chgrp ftpupload /var/www/html
chmod g+w /var/www/html

instead of dragging up a posting from 2006 about fedora 5 when YOU ARE USING RHEL 5.?
you should start a NEW thread

fedora 5 and RHEL 5.? are two completely OS's

what version of RHEL 5 is it 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, or 5.4 ???
