VSFTPD Problems

VSFTPD Problems

[Rejean Proulx]

Hello Speakup,

  I installed VSFTPD as I believe it to be better than PROFTPD.  I
  created a conf file and was able to start it.  When I point telnet
  to it, it appears that nothing is listening to port 21.  FTP clients
  give a cannot connect error.

  According to the Debian readme I am suppose to have capability
  support in my kernel.  I can't find anything about that in my kernel
  .conf file.  What are they trying to tell me?

  When I check the log files, it doesn't even create a
  /var/log/vsftpd log.  There is nothing in syslog about possible
  error messages either.

Best regards,
 Rejean                          mailto:rejean@interfree.ca

Hi Rejean:

I don't know if I can help. I have vsftpd on my fedora core II installation 
here. When I looked, I didn't find a /var/log/vsftpd file on my system 
either, though I believe a log is being created somewhere; got to scope that 
out.

One important thing; are you behind a router? I had to add a line to my 
vsftpd.conf file to address that situation as my system is behind a router. 
I could send you a vsftpd.conf file (minus that last "router" line) which 
you could then just drop over your existing one to see if that would solve 
your problem.

John

vsftpd problems

[Michael Ryan]

Hi all: 

I still have vsftpd shutdown and connection problems. 
Being logged in as root, after issuing the ftp command followed by open localhost, I still receive connection refused. 
I also still receive shutting down (failed) after I have issued the /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop command. 
It seems that the only way to terminate the ftp server is by the kill command.  If my vsftpd application happened to get corrupted, what command can I run to try and fix or reinstall with out flattening and reinstalling everything again? 

Help! 
Thanks: 
Michael
