    Re: [Ubuntu Server] Small error connecting to vsFTP server

    What are the permissions on the directory? Is it readable by the FTP user you're using to connect?
    Of two evils, choose the more interesting.

    Re: [Ubuntu Server] Small error connecting to vsFTP server

    Well I login with my ubuntu user acount over the ftp client, and I gain access to the home directory. Should I change the permissions for my own home directory?

    There is no specific user for the ftp server, I just login with the same username and password as I would do over an ssh client.

    Thank you so much for replying on my thread!

    Re: [Ubuntu Server] Small error connecting to vsFTP server

    Edit: Just had a look at the ubuntu config for vsftpd. It ships with write access turned off. Uncomment the following line in /etc/vsftpd.conf
    Code:
    # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
    write_enable=YES
    Then try the simple built in client rather than filezilla to test access.

    Code:
    matt@u9-nqy-net-02:~$ ftp 127.0.0.1
    Connected to 127.0.0.1.
