Hi Dan, hi everyone You need to follow these steps to set this up.
1) Create accounts and also making passwords on the linux machine for those who will use FTP clients to access the server. You need to do all of this using root. This is done by in the console (terminal) typing in this:
useradd user
passwd user
simply type in the desired password and then do it again for confirmation.
2) Using a text editor such as gedit, and open up /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf, and amend the selected lines below so they match:
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
userlist_deny=NO
userlist_enable=YES
All of those are uncommented.
3) Using a text editor, open up /etc/passwd and add a line for each user who wishes to use FTP:
4) Using a text editor, open up /etc/vsftpd.user_list and add each use that wishes to use FTP, a line per user. Examples:
user1:x:800:800::/home/user1/bin/bash
user2:x:801:801::/home/user2:/bin/bash
admin:x:802:802::/home/:/bin/bash
5) Restart vsftpd.
Good luck, Ben

Ben,
I don't want anonymous access. I want each user to only be able to access what they have permission (rwx)to access i.e /home/username or any publicly defined directory. As it stands if a user logs in as lets say bob they can go into /home/marry and delete the contents out of that directory, which they shouldn't be able to do.

Hi, Could you explain abit more about what you want setup- eg, do you wish anonymous access to be granted to download files, or do you wish for only users to login. Also, if the case if for several users to logon, which locations do you want them to access in the machine?
Regards, Ben
