I want to solve is the strange log strategy on the start of system. As for me syslog should be available always, all these VSFTP_COMMAND_FD and redirections to /dev/null made fails illogable at all

ubuntu 20.04 on VM Virtual box
My config: https://pastebin.com/EpWYhiMf
Config should do: Lock users in their directory but users have access to other folders
userlist enable, but users NOT in userlist can access to ftp

I think it has something to do with the part about generating the credentials (tom/foo) DB using db_load3.

I have retried multiple times without success.

Using VSFTPD 3.0.3

I get a 530 error on login attempt.

Any ideas?

Installed latest vsftpd on macOS Monterey, vsftpd starts just fine as before, but is unable to fork when creating a new FTP connection.

vsftpd fails on a syscall error defined in: https://github.com/djarosz/vsftpd/blob/master/sysutil.c#L2798

The error returned by vsftpd upon opening the connection is the following:

500 OOPS: setrlimit

Note that setrlimit is a syscall, which seems to have been removed (?) in Monterey. Googling setrlimit Monterey pops similar issues with other software, eg. dovecot.

Also reported on: Homebrew/homebrew-core#88570, but since this is an issue w/ vsftpd itself, I guess it should be reported here.

I would like to be able to configure vsftpd such that I can use chroot_local_user and secure the chroot (not writable by the user). But I would also like the user's working directory after login to be a subfolder of their root so that the user doesn't need to change directory in order to upload a file.

I have tried the following settings:

# Restrict local users to their home directories.
chroot_local_user=YES
user_sub_token=$USER
local_root=/data/upload/$USER/upload

When I tried this I found that vsftpd complained about the writable root, so apparently the local_root parameter was treated as the root for the chroot operation.

What I am asking for is similar to what ssh supports with internal-sftp where you can chroot the user to their home directory, and set the initial working directory.

Hi there

Which one is the "vsftpd" client that is available on the Debian 9 "Stretch" APT repository?

I have some questions regarding that software!

• https://github.com/djarosz/vsftpd
• https://github.com/InfrastructureServices/vsftpd

(???)

I'm really really confused - so thank you for your feedback.

I'm getting error "500 OOPS: unrecognised variable in config file: allow_writeable_chroot"
Changelog says that it should be added in this version, am i missing something?
