Hello, I have unexpected problem connecting to my 12.3 server using ftp. I nearly never use ftp to connect to this server, but wordpress install needs it. I have vsftp running and need to login using root account (I know...) the problem may (or not) come from the fact the server is a virtual machine ports 20 & 21 are forwarded by the host to the same on the guest (host and guest same 12.3) root was removed from /etc/ftpusers and the vsftpd service restarted when I ftp root@server.tld, I *can* log, issue a pwd command (->/root) or a cd command, but ls immediately close the connection. same, ftp root@... with dolphin opens the connection but give a "can't read" message. my old config file (11.4, working) write_enable=YES dirmessage_enable=YES nopriv_user=ftpsecure ftpd_banner=Bienvenue sur le ftp de Dodin.info ls_recurse_enable=YES local_enable=YES local_umask=022 anonymous_enable=YES anon_world_readable_only=YES anon_umask=022 syslog_enable=YES connect_from_port_20=YES pam_service_name=vsftpd listen_ipv6=YES ssl_enable=NO pasv_min_port=30000 pasv_max_port=30100 the new 12.3 config file: write_enable=YES dirmessage_enable=YES nopriv_user=ftpsecure ftpd_banner=Bienvenue sur le ftp de Nemo. local_enable=YES chroot_local_user=YES anonymous_enable=NO anon_world_readable_only=YES syslog_enable=NO connect_from_port_20=YES pam_service_name=vsftpd listen=YES ssl_enable=NO pasv_min_port=30000 pasv_max_port=30100 anon_mkdir_write_enable=NO anon_root=/srv/ftp anon_upload_enable=NO chroot_local_user=NO ftpd_banner=Bienvenue sur le ftp de Nemo idle_session_timeout=900 log_ftp_protocol=NO max_clients=10 max_per_ip=3 pasv_enable=YES ssl_sslv2=NO ssl_sslv3=NO ssl_tlsv1=NO (last line was YES, but YES or NO do not change my problem) If I simply copy the 11.4 file to the new server, the vsftp start hangs.. any idea? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
