  • seriesnseriesn Member

    Do you get any error when you restart vsftp?

    @NHNahian i used Proftpd for some hours ago, but now i have removed it and i installed vsftpd instead of proftpd.

  • seriesnseriesn Member

    My favorite troubleshooting option, try restarting your vps.

    netstat -an | grep 21

    Anything already listening on port 21?

    #nopriv_user=ftpsecure

    The above doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but you should not be running vsftpd as root -- I would highly recommend running as unprivileged user.

  • agoldenbergagoldenberg Member, Host Rep

    Take out archives which is sitting net to write_enable

  • sleddogsleddog Member

    Depending on how you removed it, proftpd may still be running.

    netstat -ltn

    to see listening tcp servers.

    ps aux

    to see current processes.

    If something is listening on port 21 -- proftpd in the process list? -- kill it off:

    killall proftpd

    Then try starting vsftpd.

    If you still have no joy then there's something bad in your vsftpd.com file.

  • natestammnatestamm Member

    @sleddog said: to see listening tcp servers

    this

  • johancjohanc Member

    @Microlinux
    nothing showing up when i type: netstat -an | grep 21

    @sleddog
    nothing listening on port 21 when i type netstat -ltn and ps aux.
    Proftpd is not in the list also.

  • nstormnstorm Member

    Start vsftpd manually from shell and see what it tells. Supply config path, debug/verbose level if possible (man vsftpd).

  • johancjohanc Member

    @nstorm
    I got follow when i start vsftpd from shell using the service proftpd start command:
    Starting FTP server: vsftpd

    After that i try to connect to the ftp using port 21 but it doesn´t work.

    I type in service vsftpd status and it says that vsftpd is not running.

    What do mean with config path, debug/verbose level i don´t understand it?

  • natestammnatestamm Member

    @johanc if you need help send me a PM this is peanuts

  • nstormnstorm Member

    I got follow when i start vsftpd from shell using the service proftpd start command

    I hope that is just a typo.

    What do mean with config path, debug/verbose level i don´t understand it?

    You start it without service scripts. Just run vstftpd from shell to get its output direcly to the console.

    If this is peanuts, please post the solution
