RE: [CentOS] VSFTPD problem ?

...

The files I copied are:- /etc/vsftpd.user_list /etc/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

...

Any clues ?

Does the user exist on the system(is there a home directory for them to chroot to?, if so are the uid's the same as the other system)? Have you looked at the ftp logs to see what's going on? Are you absolutely sure ftp is what you want(<insert standard FTP security rant here>)?

Yes the user exists on both systems and the home directory exists on both. Yes, it is to allow another system with a FTP backup system to do its backups, I normally use RSYNC across SSH to do backups, but this system cannot be changed.

Thanks
