Is there a way to block specific users from my vsftp server?
If they aren't anonymous users then sure, see the the chroot_list_enable section of vsftpd.conf(5). If they are anonymous then there's not a whole lot you can do.
Sometimes i find users uploading stuff that are outside the agreement, and i want to be able to DISCONNECT them as they are trying to. I tried blocking them inthe firewall by adding a DROP rule to the specific IP But the transfer stayed up.
Perhaps you blocked the control connection and not the data connection?
proftpd had nice features to view connected users and drop them at will. But as far as i can see vsftp hasnt got those. :(
No, it doesn't. Lack of feature creep is one of the reasons vsftpd doesn't have the miserable security history that proftpd has. It's a pretty straightforward shell script to write a utility like that, especially if these are not anonymous users. -- -ckm
