Hi list

I just installed vsftpd and started it (CentOS 5). Then put some files
in /var/ftp/pub (for testing purposes with rights 777) and try to
connect with local user to download those files.

$ lftp test at localhost
Password:
lftp test at localhost:~> ls
ls: Login failed: 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/test
lftp test at localhost:~> pwd
ftp://test@localhost

How to enable quick and dirty FTP transfer?

cheers
Simon
