YaST FTP server and user permission.

Wahlgren · November 11, 2012, 11:05am

Hi,

I have successfully added and configured YaST FTP server (vsftpd) and created a user to add to the ftp group from “User and Group Management”. I then selected “Chroot Everyone” in YaST FTP configuration so all users who connect to the FTP Server gets redirected to the folder ftp_share.

I can connect to the server and browse ftp_share with my own user account, but not with the other account I created. Get the following error:

Command: USER test
Response: 331 Please specify the password.
Command: PASS **********
Response: 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/run/media/jwahlgren/DISK2/ftp_share
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server

I’ve been trying many options now by changing folder permissions and manually checking the vsftpd configuration, but without any luck. I think the problem has to do with folder permission on the shared folder ftp_share?

Appreciate any help with this one.

It doesn’t have to be the ftp_share folder itself. The access can be blocked in the parent folders, please check these.
And, where do you chroot the users to?

Wahlgren · November 11, 2012, 2:56pm

Yes that could be the problem now when you mention it. The ftp_share folder is located on one of my internal HDD and everytime I mount it I have to provide a password. When I format it the first time there was no option for “take ownership of this filesystem” or something similar. I did try a chown -R username /location/of/folder but still asking to provide password.

That’s not how it should be, and probably the cause of the issues you’re experiencing. Please post output of


cat /etc/fstab

and

mount

and

su -c 'fdisk -l'

this last one requires you to enter your root password.

Ok.

I see you are using btrfs - I hope you keep your full backups up to date
(and I really mean date, to the day).

I also see you do not have entries in fstab for the partition you use
for the shared folder - that’s why you are asked for the password to
mount it.

Well I’ve been using btrfs now for over 2 months and had no problem so far. Performance is great with SSD and the benefit of snapper is the main reason I choose btrs. But I see your point so will consider changing back to EXT4 for the partitions used as storage.

I added the partition to /etc/fstab, but still same error as before. I tried to uncheck “Enable Upload” in YaST FTP Server and after doing that the user ends up in the /root partition when signing in to the FTP server! I have no idea whats going on here, but guess YaST FTP Server is not working well, so should try setting up a FTP Server manually instead. Maybe btrfs is the problem?

Thanks anyway everyone for all the help. I learned allot!

Now and then people come here with about total destruction on the btrfs
partition. I don’t know, maybe they work right for years but if they
fail they are a pain.

You need an entry like this:

At least look at the settings you are getting.

I doubt it very much.

I changed settings so the authenticated users sign in to /srv/ftp instead and that worked, so it seem to be a problem with folder permission.

/srv/ftp


drwxr-xr-x 1 root root  0 Jul 15 08:19 ftp

**ftp_share

**

drwxrwxr-x  7 jwahlgren users  4096 Nov 11 20:04 ftp_share

Even if I create a new ftp directory from YaST FTP Server, it doesn’t work.

drwxr-xr-x  2 root      root   4096 Nov 11 23:47 FTP

Fixed it now. I edited /etc/fstab and mounted the partition in /srv/ftp/FTP and then did a chmod 770 to the FTP folder. Now the user can sign in. The FTP server is only for one person, so for now this will do.

I can not replicate in this machine, it is my laptop. In my desktop I do
have an ftp server working, but can not see it for the moment.

Reinstalling with ext4 would not help. You might try reinstalling the
ftp server to start again, but as the configuration files are not
removed, you gain little.

I see you got it working in another message. For your own use you can
use non chrooted real users, which is rather more useful. Only for
external usage you need consider chroot and real security. i think.

Which is right, since you are the owner, the owning group is users, to which the ftp user apparently belongs.
