| Ugh. Now I don't know. Can you tell me if there's anything in /var/log/vsftpd/vsftpd.log of interest? Also, perhaps those users can't be members of the ftp group. Just a thought. Maybe create a new group (say, ftpers) and change those users' group with the usermod -g command? |

Ok. This is wierd. Maybe?
I have access to "do" stuff if I login from my local network. However, if someone from outside logs in they can't even list the directory...

| Made any progress? This sounds like a firewall/router problem not a software configuration issue. |

No.. :S
I could log in from outside my network, but I didn't have any privs. Which I had if I logged in from my local network.
However my computer totaly freaked out and started rebooting shortly after and it still does.. So I haven't had any chance to try anymore..

Ummm wow. Is there any error message when it reboots? If not I'd blame hardware.
Also, is it possible that your ISP has blocked port 21? |

There is no time to see, it just goes black, instantly. So I guess it's the hardware.
No, I don't think so. I used to tun FTP on my mac before without any problems.

| Well for the hardware...I guess the first thing would be ensure it is a hardware problem by booting Knoppix, or, better, running memtest. You might want to open the case and make sure there isn't a bunch of dust on the RAM or something. I know it sounds stupid, but I've encountered problems with that before. |

Everything seems to be ok inside the case.. Nothing visual.. My guess though, is that the CPU is overheated..
It's almost always when doing heavy stuff like merging apps it reboots.. But it's kinda weird though, that it started rebooting like hell for a while.. then I could merge som apps.. after a few days it started rebooting again.. and some apps could easily be merged, and some would come half way.. ^^

I've gotten another computer up'n runnting now.
Installed gentoo from stage 3 and installed vsftpd, followed your instructions.
However when I try to start vsftpd I get the error "Unrecognized variable local_enable" - I've triple checked that I've written everything correctly.. what could be wrong then? ^^

| Maybe local_enable=YES has been deprecated or something...see man vsftpd.conf |

And enter these commands:
| Code: | mkdir /home/movies
useradd -d /home/movies -s /bin/false -g ftp downloader
useradd -d /home/movies -s /bin/false -g ftp uploader
chown upload:ftp -R /home/movies
chmod 750 -R /home/movies
passwd downloader
passwd uploader
rc-update add vsftpd default |
That work? You'll have to give people the login for the downloader account, but I think this is what you want. What I've written is thinking along the same lines as what I wrote earlier. This'll create two user accounts who share a home directory. I don't know if this works or not -- if it doesn't I'd make one home directory a subdirctory of the other. Anyrate, one has rwx access to "his" home directory, the other has only r-x. Should work. Just make sure you do this after a file's been uploaded: chmod -R 750 /home/movies/ (I'm not sure what the permissions VSFTPD sets are). |
Thanks man that helped me too  |
