Installed Vsftpd But Can Not Use

I have installed vsftp to the server , the status is running now , but when use the command "ftp localhost" , it pops the "421 Service not available." , would advise what is wrong ? thanks

bash-3.2# /etc/rc.d/init.d/vsftpd status
vsftpd (pid 580) is running...
bash-3.2# ps -ef |grep vsftpd
root 580 1 0 15:44 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
root 607 467 0 15:45 pts/0 00:00:00 grep vsftpd
bash-3.2# ftp localhost
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
421 Service not available.

I use Centos 7 and have just installed vsftpd to the server , I want to start vsftp service after install , when I tried the command "systemctl |grep vsftp" , it show nothing .

I use previous , all services keep at /etc/rc.d/init.d , what I need to do is /etc/rc.d/init.d/vsftpd start .

Please advise what I need to do for Centos 7 to start vsftpd ?

thanks

I use Redhat 6.3 , when I install run "yum install vsftpd" , it pops the following error, does it mean the library is not support , I have to update the kernel ? thanks

Hi, I'm having trouble configuring my vsftpd version 2.2.2 on Centos 6.6. I successfully log in, but I cannot make any changes (creating files, directories, whatever):
ftp> mkdir t
550 Permission denied.
ftp>

This is how my vsftp.conf looks:
Code:

anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
listen=YES
pam_service_name=virtual-ftp
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd.user_list
userlist_deny=NO
tcp_wrappers=YES
write_enable=YES
guest_enable=YES
guest_username=ftp
local_root=/mnt/storage/ftp

All users are mapped to the ftp user. /mnt/storage/ftp is owned by ftp and there are no permission problems (the mount point is /mnt/storage). I use pam for authentication, which seems to be working fine from what I can tell from the logs and the fact that I can log in, of course.

/mnt/storage is a linux partition and it's mounted like this:
/dev/sdb5 /mnt/storage ext4 defaults 0 0

Which is really unimportant, because I tried to use the root partition also, and I get the same problem.

On some site someone suggested allow_writeable_chroot=YES, but this directive is not identified by vsftpd.

I kind of ran out of ideas. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm really a newbie when it comes to Linux, so please bear with me.

We have a working FTP using vsftpd with a pam.d database (by the looks of it).

I've found the list of users/password in the /etc/vsftpd/ folder called passwd, but they are all encrypted.

How can I change the password for a single user? I'm sorry I've been looking for over 3 hourw, still don't understand how to do this.

Thank you very much for whomever can help.

I've spent a bunch of time trying to troubleshoot my setup of my ftp. Currently trying to get it to work using the virtual users option. I am following this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518293. I've hit a snag that I can't seem to get around. The libdb3-util is where I'm having trouble. When I input the code "sudo apt-get install libdb3-util" my results are as follows:

Code:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libdb3-util

I have searched around a little, found someone else that had a similar problem, and was able to use db4.7-util to correct their problem. However, when I attempted this, it was unsuccessful. Is there a newer libdb/db I should be installing? If so, when I install it will it alter any of the code I've used from the guide?

I've been following the guide verbatum from the start of "Virtual users with TLS/SSL/FTPS and a common upload directory - Complicated vsftpd" and have stalled at the point of installing the libdb3-util.

Hi, I know that it is possible to get the last background pid using the $! command, however when I use it in my QT application I got a wrong result. Below follows an example where this procedure works
Code:

[linux@localhost ~]$ (sleep 6 && echo "A test") &
[1] 3312
[linux@localhost ~]$ echo $!
3312
[linux@localhost ~]$ A test

Now my Qt application, where I got a wrong result:
Code:

./dbsync &>/dev/null &
[1] 5047
[linux@localhost comm5]$ echo $!
5047

but using the ps command it is possible to verify that the pid related to the right process is not the 5047 but 5050.
Generally it is the process that comes with the command Code:

echo $!

added of two.

I use QCoreApplication in my program. I do not know if it has something to do with this error.

Any advice is welcome

I have setup postfix in Oracle Linux VM in virtualbox to test simple email sends that I am sending it to my personal email.

I have configured the following in main.cf file

myhostname = abc.testserver.org
myorigin = $myhostname
inet_interfaces = localhost
#relayhost = localhost.localdomain - I have this commented as of now, but I tried with the localhost.localdomain, IP address and none worked. I also do not have my ISP's server details and I also do not want to use it.

I checked the /var/log/maillog and I see the following

Code:

May  4 17:25:37 oim sendmail[31684]: t44LPbKA031684: from=root, size=72, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<201505042125.t44LPbKA031684@localhost.localdomain>, relay=root@localhost

I can also see the messages in /var/spool/mqueue/. The telnet to the localhost 25 port also works. Is any of the config settings wrong?

Thanks.

Hello,

I try to use a ftp daemon and a Telnet daemon with inetd and the BusyBox v1.19.0 on a linux 2.6.24.

When running inetd and then checking what is listening with "netstat -an |grep LISTEN" i have :
Code:

netstat: /proc/net/tcp6: No such file or directory
netstat: /proc/net/udp6: No such file or directory
netstat: /proc/net/raw6: No such file or directory
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:21              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:23              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

ftp port 21 and Telnet port 23 seems to be listening.

My inetd.conf file is :

Code:

#<service_name>    <sock_type>    <proto>    <flags> <user>     <server_path>     <args> 

21 stream tcp nowait root ftpd ftpd /etc
telnet            stream        tcp        nowait    root    /usr/sbin/telnetd

I have no rule in my hosts.deny so nothing should be stopped and i have no iptables firewall in place too.

When typing "ftp://ipofthetarget" in a web browser i have a error :

Code:

504 Gateway Timeout
Gateway timeout expired while waiting for server response.

And when trying to Telnet from another computer or "Telnet localhost" from the board i have :
Code:

# telnet 10.2.29.201
Trying 10.2.29.201...
connected to 10.2.29.201.
Escape character is '^]'

Connection closed by foreign host.

This would mean that the connection for Telnet exist but why is it closing ?

Thank you for your future answers !

UPDATE 1 :
If i try to run telnetd like this :
/usb/sbin/telnet -l /bin/sh
i can connect anonymously from another computer, not perfect because i would like a user/password but still of use.
The problem with the ftp daemon still exist.

UPDATE 2 :
Trying from Windows cmd or linux terminal : ftp ipofthetarget seems to work
Not perfect because i would like a user/password too but still of use.

I am still open for suggestion for the user/password thing. I am not deleting the thread in case someone interested about this exist.

I have two VM's on a Redhat 7 Base machine and installed Redhat 6 on both machnies. Trying to use FTP. I can ping both each other.
VSFTPD is installed,
firewall is enabled.
vsftpd.conf is also updated for anonymous user login.
I could login using anonymous user.
while uploading file
I am getting a message as ftp: connect: no route to host
