#
Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,
#
if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)
local_umask=022 ----- default permission
#
#
Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they
#
go into a certain directory.
dirmessage_enable=YES
#
#
The target log file can be vsftpd_log_file or xferlog_file.
#
This depends on setting xferlog_std_format parameter
xferlog_enable=YES ---enble ftp logs
#
#
Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data).
connect_from_port_20=YES ----port no
#
If you want, you can arrange for uploaded anonymous files to be owned by
#
a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not
#
recommended!

#
#
Switches between logging into vsftpd_log_file and xferlog_file files.
#
NO writes to vsftpd_log_file, YES to xferlog_file
xferlog_std_format=YES ------ logs enble
#
#
You may fully customise the login banner string:
#
ftpd_banner=Welcome to blah FTP service. ------FTP Banner
#
#
You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently
#
useful for combatting certain DoS attacks.
#deny_email_enable=YES
#
(default follows)
#banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd/banned_emails
#
#
You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home
#
directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of
#
users to NOT chroot().
chroot_local_user=YES -----add this entry for local user
#chroot_list_enable=YES
#
(default follows)
#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list
#
#
You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled
by
#
default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large
#
sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and
"mirror" assume
#
the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for
enabling it.
#ls_recurse_enable=YES
#
#
When "listen" directive is enabled, vsftpd runs in standalone mode
and
#
listens on IPv4 sockets. This directive cannot be used in conjunction
#
with the listen_ipv6 directive.
listen=YES
#
#user_list_deny=yes -- add this tag
write_enable=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES

Active FTP
The sequence of events for active FTP is:
1. Your client connects to
the FTP server by establishing an FTP control connection to port 21 of the
server. Your commands such as 'ls' and 'get' are sent over this connection.
2. Whenever the client
requests data over the control connection, the server initiates data transfer
connections back to the client. The source port of these data transfer
connections is always port 20 on the server, and the destination port is a high
port (greater than 1024) on the client.
3. Thus the ls listing that
you asked for comes back over the port 20 to high port connection, not the port
21 control connection.
FTP active mode therefore transfers data in a
counter intuitive way to the TCP standard, as it selects port 20 as it's source
port (not a random high port that's greater than 1024) and connects back to the
client on a random high port that has been pre-negotiated on the port 21
control connection.
Active FTP may fail in cases where the client is
protected from the Internet via many to one NAT (masquerading). This is because
the firewall will not know which of the many servers behind it should receive
the return connection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Passive FTP
Passive FTP works differently:
1. Your client connects to
the FTP server by establishing an FTP control connection to port 21 of the
server. Your commands such as ls and get are sent over that connection.
2. Whenever the client
requests data over the control connection, the client initiates the data
transfer connections to the server. The source port of these data transfer
connections is always a high port on the client with a destination port of a
high port on the server.
Passive FTP should be viewed as the server never
making an active attempt to connect to the client for FTP data transfers.
Because client always initiates the required connections, passive FTP works
better for clients protected by a firewall.
As Windows defaults to active FTP, and Linux
defaults to passive, you'll probably have to accommodate both forms when
deciding upon a security policy for your FTP server.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regular FTP
By default, the
VSFTPD package allows regular Linux users to copy files to and from their home
directories with an FTP client using their Linux usernames and passwords as
their login credentials.
VSFTPD also has the
option of allowing this type of access to only a group of Linux users, enabling
you to restrict the addition of new files to your system to authorized
personnel.
The disadvantage of
regular FTP is that it isn't suitable for general download distribution of
software as everyone either has to get a unique Linux user account or has to
use a shared username and password. Anonymous FTP allows you to avoid this
difficulty.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anonymous FTP
Anonymous FTP is the
choice of Web sites that need to exchange files with numerous unknown remote
users. Common uses include downloading software updates and MP3s and uploading
diagnostic information for a technical support engineers' attention. Unlike
regular FTP where you login with a preconfigured Linux username and password,
anonymous FTP requires only a username of anonymous and your email address for
the password. Once logged in to a VSFTPD server, you automatically have access
to only the default anonymous FTP directory (/var/ftp in the case of VSFTPD)
and all its subdirectories.
As seen in Chapter
6, "Installing
Linux Software", using anonymous FTP
as a remote user is fairly straight forward. VSFTPD can be configured to
support user-based and or anonymous FTP in its configuration file which you'll
see later.
Problems With FTP And Firewalls
FTP frequently fails
when the data has to pass through a firewall, because firewalls are designed to
limit data flows to predictable TCP ports and FTP uses a wide range of
unpredictable TCP ports. You have a choice of methods to overcome this.
Note: The Appendix
II, "Codes, Scripts, and Configurations", contains examples of how to configure the VSFTPD Linux
firewall to function with both active and passive FTP.
Client Protected By A Firewall Problem
Typically firewalls
don't allow any incoming connections at all, which frequently blocks active FTP
from functioning. With this type of FTP failure, the active FTP connection
appears to work when the client initiates an outbound connection to the server
on port 21. The connection then appears to hang, however, as soon as you use
the ls, dir, or get commands. The reason is that the firewall is blocking the
return connection from the server to the client (from port 20 on the server to
a high port on the client). If a firewall allows all outbound connections to
the Internet, then passive FTP clients behind a firewall will usually work
correctly as the clients initiate all the FTP connections.

general rules you'll need to allow FTP clients through a firewall:
