Hi, I have a Centos 4.6 installation. It's running a ftp service using vsftpd as it is delivered with the distro. The machine is definitely only visible within our network, which is trustful. I'd like to allow anonymous uploads. vsftpd allows to change the ownership of files being uploaded anonymously with the options chown_uploads and chown_username. If set the first to YES and the second to "ftpuploader". The user ftpuploader exists and has the uid 500. My problem: all files and directories that are created get the ownership of the user and group "ftp". With "ps -efH" I can see that vsftpd uses the correct configuration file. I cannot find any log messages that indicate any errors or misconfguration. Do you have any idea?? What could prevent vsftpd from using the username which I've specified? Thanks and greets Boris
