If its working then its probably that you have the ftp files in the wrong place? The default directory under gentoo is /home/ftp .. so thats where you should place your files? Either that or link the more correct FHS dir /var/ftp back to it.. like this:
Code:
rmdir /home/ftp
mkdir /var/ftp
chown ftp:ftp /var/ftp
ln -s /var/ftp /home/Thanks to Gentoo-Wiki

Configuring VSFTPd Server - anyweb - 2006-03-29
hi guys,
ive formatted my windows 2003 server and now have installed fedora core release 4 on it instead (on the first hdd)
i've also formatted the remaining three hdd's using ext3 filesystem and they are all blank with the intention of filling them up again to store files as a ftp server.
ive installed vsftpd and i can ftp in no problems locally, what i'd like to know is how can i make the ftp login more secure than standard ftp ? on my windows box i had implicit SSL as the login method, but i dont think i have such an option on vsftpd,
any ideas ?
also if i log in as a local user i can browse /home/user and even /home and /
it lists the files in there and lets my change dir, why ? and how can i force the user (s) to specific dirs only ?
thanks in advance
cheers

Hi,
Anyweb the first option you can set in vsftpd is chroot_local_user
Quote:chroot_local_user If set to YES, local users will be (by default) placed in a chroot() jail in their home directoryHere are some security options for vsftpd:
after login. Warning: This option has security implications, especially if the users have upload
permission, or shell access. Only enable if you know what you are doing. Note that these security
implications are not vsftpd specific. They apply to all FTP daemons which offer to put local users
in chroot() jails.
Default: NO
Quote:force_local_logins_ssl Only applies if ssl_enable is activated. If activated, all non-anonymous logins are forced to use
a secure SSL connection in order to send the password.
Default: YES
Quote:ssl_enable If enabled, and vsftpd was compiled against OpenSSL, vsftpd will support secure connections via
SSL. This applies to the control connection (including login) and also data connections. You

the normal ftp client doesn't support ssl

FTP over SSL is not needed really for personal home use.. use sftp instead. If you need a secure large scale FTP .. then ftps is useful.
Code:
sftp user@hostIt comes with the basic SSH install on all systems. Anyone who can login with ssh .. can sftp too. You might be interested in scp too :)

FTP over SSL is not supported very well in Linux at all. Clients are almost non-existant
