# Example config file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf # # The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid.

(Beware - allowed by default if you comment this out). anonymous_enable=YES # # Uncomment this to allow local users to log in. local_enable=YES # # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command. write_enable=YES # # Default umask for local users is 077.
