Hi,

I'm currently fiddling with G4U (Ghost for Unix), and I need to setup a
local FTP server in order to get it to work.

# yum groupinstall "FTP Server" --> installed vsftpd

Here's what I'd like to do :

* no anonymous access
* only one user (user 'install' / pass 'install')

The machine I'm installing it on has a static IP ok
(192.168.1.252/255.255.255.0).

I tried to fiddle with the various configuration options in vsftpd.conf,
but to no avail. Googled quite some, but the information I found doesn't
seem reliable, more like contradictory.

One detail: this isn't a publicly accessible machine, e. g. it's not out
there on the wild internet, only on the LAN, so there's no special
security considerations.

Any suggestions ?

Niki, if the machine isn't on the internet, then you don't really need to worry about the security :)

But, to answer the question, do this:

in the /etc/vsftpd.conf, change anonymous_enable to NO

Taken from man vsftpd.conf:

       anonymous_enable
              Controls  whether  anonymous  logins are permitted or not. If enabled, both the usernames ftp and anonymous are recognised as
              anonymous logins.

              Default: YES
 


I'm not sure if you can only allow a single user to access it though
