Problems in vsftp Configuration

Problems that have occurred during vsftp configuration-Linux Enterprise Application-Linux server application information. The following is a detailed description. Author: hahapig

First question:
500 OOPS: vsftpd: not configured for standalone, must be started from inetd

Cause: After the vsftpd-2.0.6.tar.gz is compiled and installed, or the listeners for vsftp are added under/etc/xinetd. d/by default, so that vsftp cannot be enabled independently.

Solution: Modify the disable value in/etc/xinetd. d/vsftpd to yes (cancel xinetd. d management of vsftp)

At the same time, you must add the listen = YES option in the vsftpd. conf configuration file. In this way, you can start it through/usr/sbin/vsftpd + your configuration file.

Second question:
500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable anonymous root

Cause: the default home directory of the anonymous account of vsftp is configured with excessive file permissions.

Solution: Modify the permission of the directory
[Root @ localhost ~] # Chown root: root anonymous account directory
[Root @ localhost ~] # Chmod 755 anonymous account directory

These are the first problems I encountered when configuring vsftp.
