I'm running CentOS 6.7 and I'm trying to successfully establish an FTP connection using vsftpd. Please point me in the right direction!
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message... Response: 220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2) Command: AUTH TLS Response: 234 Proceed with negotiation. Status: Initializing TLS... Status: Verifying certificate... Status: TLS connection established. Command: USER testuser Response: 530 Permission denied. Error: Could not connect to server I tried checking /var/logs/messages and /var/logs/xferlog but the log is empty. I also checked the home directory permissions of the local user and made sure that the user was listed in the userlist and not in the denylist
config:
local_enable=YES pasv_address=108.41.178.133 pasv_min_port=40000 pasv_max_port=40010 pasv_promiscuous=YES pasv_enable=YES write_enable=YES local_umask=022 dirmessage_enable=YES xferlog_enable=YES xferlog_file=/var/log/xferlog xferlog_std_format=YES chroot_local_user=YES chroot_list_enable=YES chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list listen=YES pam_service_name=vsftpd userlist_enable=YES tcp_wrappers=YES rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem ssl_tlsv1=YES ssl_sslv2=YES ssl_sslv3=YES require_ssl_reuse=NO ssl_ciphers=HIGH rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem ssl_enable=YES allow_anon_ssl=NO force_local_data_ssl=NO force_local_logins_ssl=YES dirlist_enable=YES download_enable=YES 2 Answers
Made sure that the user was listed in the userlist and not in the denylist
I think you are referring to user_list which by default is a list of users who are denied access without even password prompt
If that is so, you must add userlist_deny=NO to vsftpd.conf
i.e. echo "userlist_deny=NO" >> /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
[The 530 error is because of the user created for ftp]
Generally the new ftp user will have the description for the user as mentioned in the snapshot here to for that when you: cat /etc/passwd
you will find similar to this :
vsftpd:x:1003:1004:,,,:/home/vsftpd:/bin/bash
"This centered three commas are the culprit.So,remove them."
