Hi, I am making progress on vsftpd but have hit a hurdle. This is on a protected in house network. No open internet link. I can log in as anonymous. I do not see /var/ftp/pub directory. If I try a "ls" command I receive the following error:

      150 Here comes the directory listing.
      226 Transfer done (but failed to open directory.)

vsftpd.conf contains: anon_root=/var/ftp/pub anonymous_enable=YES write_enable=YES anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES anonymous_enable=YES no_anon_password=YES write_enable=YES listen=YES nopriv_user=ftpsecure

I have changed the owner and group of the /var/ftp and /var/ftp/pub directories to ftpsecure. The /var/ftp/pub directory contains several files that I do not see after loging in. All are world readable.

For a while I was wondering if there was a second vsftpd.conf file being read, but I changed the banner line and this chage was reflected when I logged in. Ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks

Bob
