Full Discussion: 550 Failed to change directory from FireFTP to CentOS 5.7 VSFTPD
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat 550 Failed to change directory from FireFTP to CentOS 5.7 VSFTPD Post 302586331 by jastanle84 on Saturday 31st of December 2011 11:31:43 PM
Old 01-01-2012
I did a chown ftp:ftp /var/ftp and a chmod -w /var/ftp and I get the following error message now when trying to connect to server using FireFTP:

Code:
500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable anonymous root

Can someone tell me if my vsftpd.conf file is setup correctly because I still cannot log onto the server with the ftp user or the anonymous user?

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no    The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send
				     LIST  instead.  In  order	to  make  the  Solaris	ftp  client  send  LIST when the ls command is issued, set
				     FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
