Accessing FTP on Linux
Hi,
I've setup an FTP server on my linux box (RH 9.0). I've configured so the vsftpd daemon is running in runlevel 5, etc.
However, I have difficulty logging-on, as it will not authenticate any valid user (inlcuding anoymous). Everything seems ok in the /etc/vsftpd/vsftp.d.conf and /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers files (ie no system users blocked, etc), and port 20 that the ftp service is using is active on the firewall.
I've also tried chown and chgrp to the daemon group on the /var/ftp/pub directory, but to no avail.
So I'm wondering is there something I'm missing ref: user autheniticaion?
