Hi,
I'm currently fiddling with G4U (Ghost for Unix), and I need to setup a local FTP server in order to get it to work.
# yum groupinstall "FTP Server" --> installed vsftpd
Here's what I'd like to do :
- no anonymous access
- only one user (user 'install' / pass 'install')
The machine I'm installing it on has a static IP ok (192.168.1.252/255.255.255.0).
I tried to fiddle with the various configuration options in vsftpd.conf, but to no avail. Googled quite some, but the information I found doesn't seem reliable, more like contradictory.
One detail: this isn't a publicly accessible machine, e. g. it's not out there on the wild internet, only on the LAN, so there's no special security considerations.
Any suggestions ?

Niki, if the machine isn't on the internet, then you don't really need to worry about the security :)
But, to answer the question, do this:
in the /etc/vsftpd.conf, change anonymous_enable to NO
Taken from man vsftpd.conf:
anonymous_enable Controls whether anonymous logins are permitted or not. If enabled, both the usernames ftp and anonymous are recognised as anonymous logins.
Default: YES
I'm not sure if you can only allow a single user to access it though
