vsftpd, by default, creates an anonymous download directory (on Redhat - /var/ftp/pub) when installed. Anonymous users are chrooted into /var/ftp by design for security reasons. Hence users who do an ftp://<domain> end up at /var/ftp and see the pub (/var/ftp/pub) subdirectory because they are anonymous users.
To change this behaviour edit your vsftpd.conf and add this line
Then users will always be asked for their username and password when they ftp to the server via their browser.
Hello,

2. I want to launch my vsftpd server. I tried to launch it using service command and you see that it didn't work!
Please help... (1 Reply)

Hi,
I am using VSFTPD.
I have instructed it to send all logging informartion to /var/log/messages.
I would like it to record the names of users who have failed loggin attempts. I have read up on it but have not found out how to do this. Any ideas? (1 Reply)

Hello
I am new to linux.
I have recently installed vsftpd in my Centos server. I have set the local_umask=0037.
But now i can't understand how the window users added in a centos server can see each-other folder.
