I'm running FC9 on a small LAN that also has some Windows machines. I'd like to use one of the linux boxes as an FTP server so that the Windows systems can access a directory on that server. None of this has been opened to the world outside by opening port 21 on the router -- it's strictly "in house." Eventually I'll learn Apache, but FTP looks much simpler for what I'd like to do. (Or so I thought :) Here's what I've done, following instructions in www.fedoraguide.info: (1) installed proftpd on the server (2) added these lines to the end of the /etc/proftpd.conf file: <Anonymous /home/magnusg/music/> User ftp Group nogroup UserAlias anonymous ftp DirFakeUser on ftp DirFakeGroup on ftp RequireValidShell off MaxClients 10 DisplayLogin welcome.msg DisplayFirstChdir .message <Directory *> <Limit WRITE> DenyAll </Limit> </Directory> </Anonymous> (3) on the server, used system-config-services to enable proftpd on run levels 3 and 5 (4) /etc/init.d/proftpd restart (5) on the server, used system-config-firewall to make FTP (with Port/Protocol = 21/tcp) a trusted service (6) the permissions for the ftp directory look like this: drwxrwxr-x 17 magnusg magnusg 4096 2008-09-14 18:29 music But when I try using filezilla from a Windows box, logging in as anonymous of port 21, I get these messages: 220 FTP server ready 331 anonymous logon OK... 530 unable to set anonymous privileges 530 login incorrect So I seem to be connecting, but not much else. Googling the error message leads to others who've had similar problems but (at least so far) no one with a solution.... Thanks for any tips on how to proceed.
