Hi, i’ve been trying to make an ftp server the way you do. I type my ip or localhost in the web browser but nothing happens. When i see the services running i can see that i’ve got two vsftpd services, it’s that right? or i should have just one? Excuse me for my poor english languaje.

Thanks

@Pramodh
idealy 700 should work, but its not working for me. But, even 777 is not a bad option.

Having a little trouble with it. The data which I want to put on ftp is on Windows. It is mounted as read-only file system as /media/sda2 . So when I am binding it to the directories and then browsing it, it is giving error 550 : Failed to change directory. Any way out ?

2. Instead of writing mount.sh and running it every time, can’t I just put those 2 lines in rc.local and be done with ?

1. Are you on FC5? I faced that 550 problem on FC5. If its ntfs filesystem, try using ntfs-3g.

2. hehe .. I have one line in rc.local ‘bash /path/to/mount.sh’

I am using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. That filesystem is already mounted as readonly. Ubuntu did that when I installed my system.

Then I probably don’t know. Because I was not able to resolve the same problem with FC5 and with FC6 it was automatically gone. May be some ubuntu forums or googling can help.

Hi
I have had a look at your instructions. I can basically get the server to be available for downloads but cannot upload using anonymous login. I have checked the vsftpd.conf and uploads are all set to yes. The permissions on the upload directory are set to 777.

I have used another account to ftp upload which works fine..any ideas…sounds like some permissions on the anonymous account???

@B Gan
Did you change the ownership of the upload folder as suggested ?
I think thats the critical part of it. Please check …
