hi everybody,
i am new to linux. iam using centos 6.2, and trying to configure ftp server in my local network, i have seen one fpt server how to videos tutriol but iam unable to follow i have some confussion in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf about userlist_enable and userlist_deny, /etc/vsftpd/userlist and user_list and ftpusers.
i haven't change vsftpd.conf, user_list and ftpusers, when iam trying to ftp with users 'khem' or 'guest' the following error occurs:
trying to ftp with user khem it prompt for password after inserting password the error
# ftp 10.10.10.161
Connected to 10.10.10.161 (10.10.10.161).
220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2)
Name (10.10.10.161:khem): khem
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/khem
Login failed.
and again trying to ftp with user guest
Code:
# ftp 10.10.10.161
Connected to 10.10.10.161 (10.10.10.161).
220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2)
Name (10.10.10.161:khem): guest
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/guest
Login failed.
the same errors occours as user khem.
ABOUT CONSOLE OR VIA SSH, my local ip is 10.10.10.161
now iam login with user guest and trying to login with via ssh with my local machine
Code:
[guest@workstation ~]$
[guest@workstation ~]$ ssh khem@10.10.10.161
khem@10.10.10.161's password:
Last login: Fri Apr 20 18:41:04 2012 from workstation
[khem@workstation ~]$
hope user khem can login colsole or via ssh, if iam not wrong i just try it by googeling.
iam using default centos 6.2 shell may be it is bash.
both user khem and guest have password ,this account is created by root.
i hav insert user khem and guest in /etc/vsftpd/user_list and i save it and exit
Code:
# vsftpd userlist
# If userlist_deny=NO, only allow users in this file
# If userlist_deny=YES (default), never allow users in this file, and
# do not even prompt for a password.
# Note that the default vsftpd pam config also checks /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers
# for users that are denied.
khem
guest
root
bin
daemon
adm
lp
sync
shutdown
halt
mail
news
uucp
operator
games
nobody
after save and exit i have restart vsftpd
Code:
# service vsftpd restart
Shutting down vsftpd: [ OK ]
Starting vsftpd for vsftpd: [ OK ]
and trying to ftp using both user 'khem' and 'guest' respectively
ftp using khem
Code:
# ftp 10.10.10.161
Connected to 10.10.10.161 (10.10.10.161).
220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2)
Name (10.10.10.161:khem): khem
530 Permission denied.
Login failed.
Code:
ftp using guest
# ftp 10.10.10.161
Connected to 10.10.10.161 (10.10.10.161).
220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2)
Name (10.10.10.161:khem): guest
530 Permission denied.
Login failed.
i have created user khem and guest by root user and i gave password to them
can anybody guide me to configure ftp by analysing this post. any kinds of ideas and suggestions are welcome and i'll be greatful.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
So as I have understood, you want to login to the ftp server using khem id and want to get into the home directory of that user. Right?
1. Is SELinux set to enforcing mode? to check this try the below command:
Code:
getenforce
If it's in enforcing mode, you need to check if ftp_home_dir boolean is set to on:
Code:
getsebool -a | grep ftp_home_dir
If that's off, turn it on to allow ftp user's to get into their home directory:
Code:
setsebool -P ftp_home_dir=1
2. By default, whatever user names you put in /etc/vsftpd/user_list file, it gets denied from logging into the ftp server. So either you remove the user khem from that file or you add "userlist_deny=NO" line at the end of /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file. Then, restart the vsftpd server.
thank you,
admin_xor form my inner heart, your guidelines will help to improve my skills and clear my doubt about how to login in ftp and credit goes to you. i have some doubts hope you help me.
first i delete user khem from /etc/vsftpd/user_list and save. and change to premissive mode,
it works with all users and again i convert in enforcing mode by following comman,
Code:
# setenforce 1
# getenforce
Enforcing
it doesn't work in Enforcing mode and i follow your instruction given by you in your post.
Code:
#getencorce
#getsebool -a | grep ftp_home_dir
#setsebool -P ftp_home_dir=1
and i tried it works successfully every user can ftp, to their respective home directory
Code:
# ftp 10.10.10.161
Connected to 10.10.10.161 (10.10.10.161).

what i want to do is, i want to create folder name 'files' inside /var/ftp/pub/
and anytime any users login with ftp server they should redirect to /var/ftp/pub/files not in their respective directory so everybody shares data from /var/ftp/pub/files.
can anybody give me any kinds of ideas, suggestions or guidelines i'll be greatful and any all ideas, suggestion and guidelines are welcome.
1) after doing this i log in as 'ashim' i was able to access the files on ftp servers. but i was not able to create new folder and paste some files in that ftp servers.
2) when i reboot the system i got error message = could not update ICEauthority file /var/lib/gdm/.ICEauthority
i login as single user as root and check file are as follows:
3) i cannot login using hostname of my machine. what i mean is when i do this ftp://10.10.10.161 i can access the file but when i use ftp://workstation but i can't access.
Code:
ip = 10.10.10.161
hostname = workstation
i was worried about my data on harddisk if my system doesn't boot i loose all my important data. iam new to linux any kinds of ideas and suggestions are welcome.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Did you give write permission to the group on the directory?
chmod g+w /var/ftp/pub/files

This is entirely a different issue. With which ID did you login?

Name to address resolution is done by either DNS or the /etc/hosts file. If you do not have a DNS server for your network, just make an entry as following in /etc/hosts file on the ftp client machine (from the machine you are accessing the server):
hi ,
i have done the following steps but i cannot create file inside /var/ftp/pub/files
