I am using Suse Linux 11 and these are my settings:

Code:

write_enable=YES # enable any form of FTP write command

local_enable=YES # if you want local users to use FTP

local_umask=000 # not a very secure setting, but you can use 022

chroot_local_user=YES #I jailed local users to their home directories so they dont go about messing files

chroot_list_enable=YES #if this is YES, then u need the chroot list file

chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list #put all your local users that you'd want to be able to use FTP here

and you disable all anonymous login, downloads,uploads

anonymous_enable=NO
#anon_world_readable_only=YES
#anon_upload_enable=YES
#anon_umask=022
#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
#anon_other_write_enable=YES
#chown_uploads=YES
#chown_username=whoever


I log my FTP activity separately from syslog, so it goes to two different log files

log_ftp_protocol=YES #Uncomment this to log all FTP requests and responses.

xferlog_enable=YES #Activate logging of uploads/downloads

vsftpd_log_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log 

xferlog_file=/var/log/xferlog

dual_log_enable=YES

idle_session_timeout=21600      #these are custom settings because the customer wanted it that way
data_connection_timeout=86400 #these are custom settings because the customer wanted it that way

ascii_upload_enable=YES     #ASCII mode file transfer
ascii_download_enable=YES  #ASCII mode file transfer

hope this helps

Why is sftp working but ftp not

I am not very familiar with the use of FTP, and trying to run it I found out that standard "ftp" is not working" but "sftp" is. If sftp is allowed will that block ftp ? and if so where is this set ? I thought there is no relationship, is that right ? If so look here: inetadm | grep ftp enabled...

ftpconfig

ftpconfig(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     ftpconfig(1M)

NAME

       ftpconfig - set up anonymous FTP

SYNOPSIS

       ftpconfig [ftpdir]

       ftpconfig -d ftpdir

DESCRIPTION

       The ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server
       by specifying the user name  ftp or anonymous and the user's email  address as password. The anonymous users  are  logged  on  to  the  FTP
       Server  and  given  access to a restricted file area with its own file system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has  its own minimal system
       files.

       This command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate an anonymous FTP server, including creating the  ftp  user  account,
       creating  device  nodes,  copying  /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data.  The passwd and group files set up have been stripped down to
       prevent malicious users from finding login names on the server.	The anonymous file area will be placed	under  ftpdir.	If  the  ftp  user
       account already exists, then the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it are updated. All other files are left untouched. This
       command should be run to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system patch is installed, or the system is upgraded.

OPTIONS

       -d	Create a new or update an existing ftpdir without creating or updating the ftp user account. Use this option when  creating  guest
		FTP user accounts.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       ftpdir	The absolute pathname of the directory under which the anonymous FTP area is set up.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion

       1	Improper usage of the command

       2	Command failed
