Thus spake David Bruzos: # # Enable this to show textual user names and groups instead of UID's and GID's. # text_userdb_names=YES Oops! Slight misunderstanding due to the fact that I phrased the question just horribly! My fault. But that answer halped me with another problem. Thanks. I really wanted to make vsftpd access and send the directory that I had shown. That problem was fixed by turning off ftp_world_readable_only, which I finally found after digging for about 2 hours in the very comprehensive manpage for vsftpd.conf. My complements go out to the developers for such a fine feature set and such a well-thought-out and secure ftpd. Thanks for the help, PRINCE
