vsftp

[jitender33]

hi
       I have installed Vsftpd server on redhat linux 9.0. I can ftp through anonymos user. But when i try to open with internet explorer i can login on ftp server with anonymos user but i cannot see the ftp shared folder.
         Second i want to block the anonymos user and allow to login with root and some other user name.

        Please give me support about both topics
Thanks
Jitender

You need to edit you /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

Each directive is in its separate line..
look for : anonymous_enable
Make it NO

About Internet explorer.. I think you need to see that where you can make IE to use passive mode.

About other question :
I have following cut and paste for you:

#

userlist_deny — When used in conjunction with the userlist_enable directive and set to NO, all local users are denied access unless the username is listed in the file specified by the userlist_file directive. Because access is denied before the client is asked for a password, setting this directive to NO prevents local users from submitting unencrypted passwords over the network.

The default value is YES.
#

userlist_enable — When enabled, the users listed in the file specified by the userlist_file directive are denied access. Because access is denied before the client is asked for a password, users are prevented from submitting unencrypted passwords over the network.

The default value is NO, however under Red Hat Enterprise Linux the value is set to YES.
#

userlist_file — Specifies the file referenced by vsftpd when the userlist_enable directive is enabled.

The default value is /etc/vsftpd.user_list.

Hi

You can set the IE to passive mode by tools --> internet options --> Advanced tab under the browsing tab u can find enable passive mode.
