VSFTPD Configuration questions

donciakas · Feb 8, 2006

Hi, i installed and configured my vsftpd. But i need to change the default directory to other partition (vfat) and can't find out by googling how to do that. it would be nice if someone could help me. For thanx i'll give u my ftp adress with some music in it

P.S.
default dir is /home/ftp
and need to change it to the directory
/media/data/ftp

change it in your /etc/passwd
It's the home directory of the ftpd account
For the future: don't give out mp3 accounts. It's against forum rules and the law

ok, my fault...... some of my friend adviced me to do
usermod -d /directory/i/need ftp
cause there is allowed anonymous, and anonymous account in vsftpd is like ftp account. It changed the main directory of ftp account and it worked. Thanks anyway trying to help me

Yes usermod does the same: changes the directory displayed in /etc/passwd

but it didn't work.... has anyone ideas whereis the problem? after restarting pc i didn't work anymore, tried reinstalling it, but also didn't help

check your /etc/inetd.conf or whatevre controls your internet super daemon. Also the executable is of course /usr/sbin/vsftpd or similar. not a .conf file, that's the config only
