Serving ftp with vsftpd
Submitted by sandip on Thu, 12/23/2010 - 16:32vsftpd can be installed directly via yum and is a straight forward setup:
yum install vsftpd
chkconfig vsftpd on
service vsftpd startThe default vsftpd.conf should be fine to run with. However, it is best practice to disable anonymous access if not being used:
# cat /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf | grep -v "#\|^$"
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_std_format=NO
nopriv_user=nobody
ftpd_banner=OK
listen=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
tcp_wrappers=YES
log_ftp_protocol=YES
chroot_local_user=YESFor an incoming dropbox only option, use:
download_enable=NO
dirlist_enable=NOTrack files uploaded via pure-ftpd
Submitted by sandip on Mon, 05/12/2008 - 09:28Recently, I've had more than one occurrence of files being messed up due to bad uploads from users on a cpanel server running pure-ftpd.
Here is a simple one liner to get a report of uploads:
/bin/grep pure-ftpd /var/log/messages| grep upload | grep -v <trusted ip address>"trusted ip address" would possibly be your own.
I put the above on a daily cron and keep an eye out for user uploads.
