Hello all:
I have a problem that no user forum has been able to resolve, no README file has been able to figure out, and no log has given me the answer.
I'm a windows admin, with virtually no admin level experience with Linux, attempting to add vsftpd to our environment for external transfers. The vsftpd server sits on RHEL6.1
I'm trying to set up a server to listen on port range 27300-27310, virtual users, pam.d for authentication, and /home/ftproot/ as the jail root directory. I have verbose logging turned on.
When I try:
ftp localhost 27305 it returns
ftp: connect: Connection refused When I try:
ftp user@localhost ftp: user@localhost: Name or service not known The /var/log/vsftpd.log is empty
I have gone through the vsftpd example/virtual_users readme and followed step by step, twice. I have checked out user forums, and cannot get this damn thing to work.
I apologize if this sounds trivial... I am not a Linux Admin, but my boss clearly doesn't give a shit.
I have a sense that I'm making this more complicated than it is. sample vsftpd.conf I found on the web aren't anywhere near as many lines as mine is... but I don't really know what I can, or cannot, trim out... I left out all of the # lines.
/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
