Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2012 4:44 pm Post subject: vsftp not sending welcome message? |
|
|
Hi
I have my server running with DYNDNS but if I use FileZilla to access the server via FTP and using the DYNDNS address, the program hangs as it is waiting for a welcome message. If I test using the internal address "sms", everything runs smoothly but the welcome message is not the message I have set up in the vsftp config file?
Any hints would help a lot as I am trying to set up my server as a dropbox for my family utilizing the Open Source program FTPbox
Thanks a lot
Riteman

Do you have a variable ftpd_banner uncomment in /etc/vsftpd.conf?
default is
ftpd_banner= Welcome to blah FTP service.
did you restart /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd after editing?

Are you sure, you didn't see welcome message in log files of your ftp client?
Try from bash by typing
ftp 127.0.0.1
Does your welcome message appear?
you should see something like
Code: | root@sms:~# ftp 127.0.0.1
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
220 Welcome to blah FTP service.
Name (127.0.0.1:root): |

when I look into the exchange of commands between FTPclient and server when accessing inside my network it states
220 SMS FTP Server
which is not the string I have in the conf-file

You need to stop proftpd first, as you have 2 FTP servers running.
to stop proftpd run
/etc/rc.d/rc.proftpd stop
and disable service with
chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.proftpd

Thanks
I did what you suggested and as result got "stopping proftpd..", then I used the chmod command and now I cannot log in via FTP at all: The message now is "Connection established waiting for welcome message" also when I log in from within my own network
If I run "ftp sms" from a commandwindow on my windows-PC I get "connected to sms.fritz.box" followed by "Connection closed by remote host"

Have you enable vsftpd through /etc/inetd.conf as described in wiki?
Code: | # Very Secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server.
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd vsftpd |
It sound like you were using proftpd and not vsftpd.

That's normal since that login details refer to proftpd configuration.
There is a section at wiki for vsftpd you might wanna look on how to configure.
http://sms.it-ccs.com/wiki/#LinkTarget_1476
by default vsftpd allow anonymous login so you should be able to login anonymously,

This is from man pages
Code: | ftp_username
This is the name of the user we use for handling anonymous FTP. The home directory of this user is the root of the anonymous
FTP area.
Default: ftp |
ftpuser has no home so path for anonymous is invalid.
If you are going to use vsftpd, either edit default ftp users (ftpuser,webftp) or delete them and add new ones, according to your needs.
Can you post your vsftpd.conf or what you are trying to set up, like paths and users?

attached my conf file: I now can log into the FTP server from within my network - as soon as I try to login using the dyndns address it resolves the IP address correctly but stops waiting for the welcome message
Changed ftpuser to have a homedir

Your config looks OK...
Have you set up port forward on your router, to forward ports 20-21 to your local machine?
