vsftp problems
 

Hi



Setting up vsftp should be a snap. Just follow the howto. Right. With
listen=YES in the .conf file and try to ftp the server from another
system on my network, I get:



On the server:

root@xxxxx2:/etc# service vsftpd start

Started FTP server: vsftpd



Note: ps xaf doesn't show vsftpd to be running



On the client



root@xxxxxx1:/etc# ftp xxxxxx2

Connected to xxxxxx2.home.

421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection

ftp>



with listen=NO an attempt to restart on the server resulted in the
following:



root@/xxxxx2: /etc# service vsftpd restart

Stopping FTP server: No /usr/bin/vsftpd found running. None killed.

vsftpd.

/etc/vsftpd.conf: listen disabled - service will not start.



In short neither inet.d start or standalone start seems to work. The
.conf file is right out of the documentation.



These are both Debian Squeeze systems that are up to date.



Help will be sincerely appreciated.

Try running /usr/sbin/vsftpd by hand (as root) from a session on your
server. Does it print any diagnostic output?

Mmm, are you using the sparc package?

No prob.

That means that Icedove will use the default sending format setting
defined for your account, which by default is "html". You need to
manually toggle "text format" at message composing when you want to get
text based e-mails :-)

Mmm, then I would try one of these suggestions and see how it goes:

http://myliteraturetechlife.com/troubleshooting-vsftp-problem-common-problems-related-to-vsftp/

Also, there is a plethora of links pointing to that error message in
Google, maybe you find something useful in here:

Where can the default be changed to text?

I've not found such a switch in Account Settings or in Preferences.
Where is it?

Thanks, ... Peter E.

OK. Now I have 3 machines that are setup identically. The vsftpd.conf
files have the following settings:


Listen=YES
#Listen_IPV6
Anonymous=YES
#Local_enabled=YES
#Write_enabled=YES

One of the machines starts fine with 'service vsftpd start' . The other
two don't.
When I try to start with /usr/sbin/vsftpd, the good machine hangs up.
The other two come back with:


500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket

I've checked all the file permissions and everything else I can think of
and have found nothing different between the systems. Two of the systems
are exact down to the hardware.


If I ftp the good machine from one of the others I get:

Connected to xxxxxxxx.home.
220 (vsFTPd 2.3.2)
Name (xxxxxxxx:root): gary
530 This FTP server is anonymous only.
Login failed.

The 'gary' is my reply.

I am about to throw in the towel on this unless someone can come up with
an answer. Very frunstrated.

Are you attempting to start it by hand as root?

If so, can you try "lsof -ni:21"? It looks like something else
has bound to your port 21.

There are some hits for that message when you make a Google search, for
instance:

Try with "anonymous" and blank password, instead.

Don't give up... as the title of a book says: "the impossible takes just
a bit longer" ;-P

Good suggestion, On both bad systems, I get

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
inetd 1946 root 8u IPv4 130958 0t0 TCP *:ftp (LISTEN)

The good machine shows that vsftpd is attached to the port.

I'm not sure how to correct this but it is definitely a step in the
right direction.

There are at least two options. ;)

1) Stop inetd all together if you don't run any services through
inetd (or xinetd).

2) Or just edit /etc/inetd.conf (or a file in /etc/xinet.d/ if you
run xinetd) to let it not listen on port 21.
