Ftp: Connect: No Route To Host

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 am trying to allow local users to us the ftp for my site (really, any user would work, I just thought this would be easiest). I am trying to make it so that I can upload themes, install plugins, etc on a WordPress site hosted on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine. Here is the contents of my vsftpd.conf file from /etc/

# Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf
#
# The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file
# loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable.
# Please see vsftpd.conf.5 for all compiled in defaults.
#
# READ THIS: This example file is NOT an exhaustive list of vsftpd options.
# Please read the vsftpd.conf.5 manual page to get a full idea of vsftpd's
# capabilities.
#
#
# Run standalone? vsftpd can run either from an inetd or as a standalone
# daemon started from an initscript.
listen=YES
#
# Run standalone with IPv6?
# Like the listen parameter, except vsftpd will listen on an IPv6 socket
# instead of an IPv4 one. This parameter and the listen parameter are mutually
# exclusive.
#listen_ipv6=YES
#
# Allow anonymous FTP? (Disabled by default)
anonymous_enable=NO
#
# Uncomment this to allow local users to log in.
local_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
write_enable=YES
#
# Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,
# if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)
local_umask=022
#
# Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only
# has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will
# obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.
#anon_upload_enable=YES
#
# Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create
# new directories.
#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
#
# Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they
# go into a certain directory.
dirmessage_enable=YES
#
# If enabled, vsftpd will display directory listings with the time
# in your local time zone. The default is to display GMT. The
# times returned by the MDTM FTP command are also affected by this
# option.
use_localtime=YES
#
# Activate logging of uploads/downloads.
xferlog_enable=YES
#
# Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data).
connect_from_port_20=YES
#
# If you want, you can arrange for uploaded anonymous files to be owned by
# a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not
# recommended!
#chown_uploads=YES
#chown_username=whoever
#
# You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown
# below.
#xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
#
# If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format.
# Note that the default log file location is /var/log/xferlog in this case.
#xferlog_std_format=YES
#
# You may change the default value for timing out an idle session.
#idle_session_timeout=600
#
# You may change the default value for timing out a data connection.
#data_connection_timeout=120
#
# It is recommended that you define on your system a unique user which the
# ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user.
#nopriv_user=ftpsecure
#
# Enable this and the server will recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not
# recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it,
# however, may confuse older FTP clients.
#async_abor_enable=YES
#
# By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore
# the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII
# mangling on files when in ASCII mode.
# Beware that on some FTP servers, ASCII support allows a denial of service
# attack (DoS) via the command "SIZE /big/file" in ASCII mode. vsftpd
# predicted this attack and has always been safe, reporting the size of the
# raw file.
# ASCII mangling is a horrible feature of the protocol.
#ascii_upload_enable=YES
#ascii_download_enable=YES
#
# You may fully customise the login banner string:
#ftpd_banner=Welcome to blah FTP service.
#
# You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently
# useful for combatting certain DoS attacks.
#deny_email_enable=YES
# (default follows)
#banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails
#
# You may restrict local users to their home directories. See the FAQ for
# the possible risks in this before using chroot_local_user or
# chroot_list_enable below.
#chroot_local_user=YES
#
# You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home
# directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of
# users to NOT chroot().
# (Warning! chroot'ing can be very dangerous. If using chroot, make sure that
# the user does not have write access to the top level directory within the
# chroot)
#chroot_local_user=YES
#chroot_list_enable=YES
# (default follows)
#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
#
# You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by
# default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large
# sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume
# the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it.
#ls_recurse_enable=YES
#
# Customization
#
# Some of vsftpd's settings don't fit the filesystem layout by
# default.
#
# This option should be the name of a directory which is empty. Also, the
# directory should not be writable by the ftp user. This directory is used
# as a secure chroot() jail at times vsftpd does not require filesystem
# access.
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd/empty
#
# This string is the name of the PAM service vsftpd will use.
pam_service_name=vsftpd
#
# This option specifies the location of the RSA certificate to use for SSL
# encrypted connections.
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
# This option specifies the location of the RSA key to use for SSL

I have a hostlist and there are several hosts. I want to use ssh to connect to them. I want to see whether the host is available or not by the time length of ssh takes. If it take long than 5s (which means it is not available). Then stop it, and ssh to next host. Once a host is available, then output the name of host. I previously use nmap, but the IT security told it is not allowed to install it on the desktop on campus.
Code:

    HOSTS=`cat $host_list`
    for line in $HOSTS
    do 
    ssh -o ConnectTimeout=5s $line true >> /dev/null
    RESULT=$?
    if [ $RESULT -eq 0 ]
    then
    echo $line > succeed.txt
    else
    echo $line > fail.txt
    fi
    done

The above script is all I can do.
The problem is when it is failed, I want to redirect the error message
Code:

ssh: connect to host c28-0112-05.ad.mtu.edu port 22: No route to host

. But I still get the error message.

I am trying to login to my linux server. I was initially doing "ssh hostname". The login did not work, so I tried "ssh username@IP", which still prompted me with the yes/no prompt, but I received this error:

Code:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.

Hi
I must connect to ftp to get some files occasionally. To do these I make a script.
The problem is that the user is generic and all of my work use these user in the local host, and the remote machine I must connect with my personal user so they can see my password in the script
There is some way to avoid these?
Thanks and sorry for my English

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 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.

Hi all,

Would love some advice about how to get a solution here.

Goal - join two separate ssh sessions together. I want to see if keys used to login to a bastion host can be different than keys used to login to server from bastion.

Scenario - I will login to a bastion host using ssh and my keys from my machine. The bastion host will then login to the actual server on my behalf - using a different set of keys. The ssh session from my machine to the bastion host and from the bastion host to the server now needs to be connected, for me to feel as if a transparent SSH proxy is just forwarding commands.

I have read up a bit on ssh proxies but it seems like this is not implemented right off the bat. I have read - http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSSH...and_Jump_Hosts , I have also looked at screen sessions - but am not sure how to "merge" two ssh screen sessions together.

Any advice will be very helpful.

Thank you.
