Error writing vsftpd conf permission denied

Permission denied in FTP even though I’m the owner

Okay, so I’ve tried my best at finding the answer to this by searching and looking through possible duplicates, but I just can’t so forgive me if it’s out there somewhere anyways.

My issue is as follows. I’ve set the owner of /var/www to myuser:www-data and permissions of the folder and all (currently just the basic index.html) it’s content to 750 , and Apache seems to run it as supposed, but I can’t access it when I FTP into the server as the myuser user. I mean, I can access it, but as soon as I try to edit, delete or add something I just get 500 Permission denied , and if I try to edit the permissions I get 500 Unknown SITE command .

Help! What do I do wrong? The idea on setting the user and group, and then the permissions as above was from a good friend of mine who is sort of an expert, but I feel like I’m bothering him when I ask so many questions, so if you can help me some more, that would be great!

I’m trying to put a backup with 4 vhosts back into the www-folder, but what I put there shouldn’t be of any concern, right? That’s just the confing of the vhosting later that has got anything to do with that, right?

Thanks in advance!

I ran this: myuser@myserver:/$ groups myuser And got this: myuser : myuser adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare Then I ran this: myuser@myserver:/$ groups www-data And got this: www-data : www-data

And then this: myuser@myserver:/var/www$ ls -l And got this: total 4 -rwxr-x— 1 tjita1 www-data 177 Jan 25 17:45 index.html

Regarding the ftpserver, I didn’t do anything in particular, I just installed vsftpd. Oh yeah, I also added a line in I think /etc/vsftpd.conf or something like that, that reads something like this: chmod_enable=YES .

Also, I can’t get those 4-space-indents to work, sorry about that..

Error “530: permission denied” when user logs in to vsftpd server via ftp

The Problem

Vsftp server is newly installed and has been brought up but can’t be accessed by certain users giving the error shown below.

The Solution

The cause is that if the parameter userlist_enable in file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf is YES and the parameter userlist_deny default value is also YES, then the username in file /etc/vsftpd/user_list will get ‘530 Permission denied‘ error and does not even prompt for a password.

When parameter userlist_enable is enabled, vsftpd will load the usernames in file /etc/vsftpd/userlist_file. If a user tries to log in using a name in this file, they will be denied before they are asked for a password. This may be useful in preventing cleartext passwords being transmitted.

Parameter userlist_deny will be examined if userlist_enable is activated. If you set this setting to NO, then users will be allowed to login when they are listed in the file /etc/vsftpd/userlist_file.

So, we can resolve this issue by setting userlist_deny to NO when userlist_enable is activated. Then put the allowed usernames in file /etc/vsftpd/user_list and put the not allowed usernames in file /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers.

You can see the explanation from manual of vsftpd.conf.

You can also see these comments in file /etc/vsftpd/user_list .

Allowing a VSFTP Server local user to login

1. Edit /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf and set userlist_enable to YES and userlist_deny to NO.

2. Modify /etc/vsftpd/user_list, put the user (user01) which is allowed to login in this file

3. Put all users not allowed to ftp in /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers.

4. Restart vsftpd service.

5. Try ftp again with user – user01.

6. Also try Login by disallowed userid, for example, root.

Установка vsftpd (Проблема с доступом)

Установка vsftpd

Сообщение lnx » 30.01.2007 11:24

Уважаемые linux гуру, помогите найти ошибку.

Возникла необходимость поставить на шлюз ftp-сервер (шлюз на Fedora 6). Остановился на пакете vsftpd, как «very secure and fast». Распаковал архив с исходниками, применил обычное заклинание «make и make install», создал простенький vsftpd.conf для проверки работы демона. Дал команду на запуск: /usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf , на что демон пишет -bash: /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf: Permission denied. С правами на файл и каталог все в порядке, доступ на чтение для всех, запись для root’а. Поставил разрешения 0777 — тоже самое. Не понимаю какие ему еще права нужны.

Вот мой vsftpd.conf (он был больше, часть опций убрал в процессе отладки)

listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
log_ftp_protocol=YES
nopriv_user=ftp
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd/user_list

VSFTPD keeps giving me 550 Permission Denied

I just installed VSFTPD and made a user named ftpadmin.
I made the home folder for ftpadmin /var/www
I also gave ftpadmin ownership of /var/www

No matter what I do, I can’t delete, add, or do anything in any directory even though when I log in, it goes there.

What am I doing wrong?

Re: VSFTPD keeps giving me 550 Permission Denied

am I correct in assuming you created vsftpadmin user and are logging into the FTP server using that account? As opposed to that being the user the server daemon is running as.

Whichever account you use to login to the server is going to need permissions to the folders you are giong to browse.

You mention you’ve set the ownership on the folder, can you confirm the permissions with a screenie/dump?

I used
sudo chown -R ftpadmin /var/www
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www

watch out for the last line though, as this gives all users full access to the folder. But it’s a good starting point, because it should allow access, and then you can start locking it down.

Re: VSFTPD keeps giving me 550 Permission Denied

Well I also had a similar problem .. i figured out the solution.

open your vsftpd.conf file .. for me it was in /etc/vsftpd.conf.

There you will find the following line :
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
#write_enable=YES

Uncomment this .. it will look like this.
# Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
write_enable=YES

Restart your ftp daemon and I hope things will work as expected.

Permission Denied for FTP User

I have an FTP user whose default is /root/ftpuser

This user can login fine. The user is the owner of the directory & the directory is even set to 777 permissions.

But the user can’t upload anything, the display is:

It’s a Linux CentOS 6 server.

Unfortunately you didn’t give us many information. My guess would be that selinux is enabled. Try running sestatus and see for yourself is selinux directives are enforced or not. If yes, you will have to toggle the selinux variables accordingly.

I had the same issue. Edited the /etc/vsftpd.conf and changed this: write_enabled=YES and it worked.

From the given details, I can only think of.

Also, Having not enough details and knowledge i wonder why anyone should have requirement to have ftp path in /root/ftpuser .

I am having a similar issue. There could be some sort of «jail» or «cage» over the user for security reasons directly managed by the ftp server when the user logs in. Programs like Jailkit also can affect that. Maybe it is not the right answer, but in pureftp it put me on the right track.

if you Edited the /etc/vsftpd.conf and set: write_enabled=YES and still not working, you need to restart your service
