Thread: Fedora 13 help setting up ftp for a user to have permission to web directory (newbie)

Hi guys

First day of using linux could do with some help i have succesfully installed vsftpd which is running however I do with some advice on how to complete this task.

I need to be able to login as a local user called ops this is what I have done so far

I have setup the vsftpd.conf
so that anonmous user cannot login however local cannot not
write is enable the local unmask is 022
and ascii upload and download are enable

However I still could not login as ops

I have checked the user_list config file I cannot see the ops username there to stop that account from being used.

So could give me some advice on how I have correct this I could also do with some help that I only want this account going to the apache location so that user can upload the webpages

Thanks for any help you could give

hi pal,

check these if u don’t need SELinux disable it. through graphical it is in Administration.Other wise it is in /etc/selinux/config. If u want it. check the boolean with command # getsebool | grep ftp (to get the ftp homedirectory status) if it is off, then use this to on # setsebool ftp_home_access on.

this may useful to u.
