VSFTPD

[newbee888]

I just installed VSFTPD in replacement of WU-FTPS because I saw a forum saying that VSFTPD is much better.

I already successfully run the FTP server, and I created a user. I have two problem on this.

1. when I access my ftp server using IE. ftp:myipaddress. I saw a pub folder. ( no username and password, it seems like anonymous user. my anonymous access is disables.
Question: How to disbale this one?

2. after I created a user, I try to login. it was successful. but I cannot copy anything on it. the error msg appears. "an error occured creating a bew folder on the ftp server / detail 500 unknown command" why is that?

I hope you guys could help me

you can edit the /etc/vsftpd.conf to make the vsftpd restrict or give access. the comment lines tell you which line does what.

then /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

let us know how it turns out.

It's about time you invest a few minutes with the vsftpd user documentation.
