- Code: Select all
chown root:root /etc/vsftpd.conf
and the built-in add a user method didn't actually allow that user to access ftp
i had to turn on root's ftp ability to get any ftp access at all
this worked, of course, so who cares since this server is on a local network, but it would be nice to use the vici install cd for all servers including the ftp server instead of ubuntu like we do up until now.
- Code: Select all
nano ftpusers
and then remove root from this file
for some reason, new users are not able to ftp. i haven't checked to see which group is actually in use for ftp permission (but i tried the ftp group to no avail, then just activated root to get it online). The client had 45000 files to move and i wanted to get it rolling.
