I am attempting to set up a FTP server. I am going with vsftpd. I followed the steps in the documentation for Ubuntu 10.10
http://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
I installed vsftpd and made one change to the vsftpd.conf file. I uncommented the chroot_local_user=yes so that my users only have access to their home directories.
I then restarted vsftpd.
Now going over the another machine I attempted to access the server using filezilla. I configured the network connection using the wizard and tested it so I know filezilla is configured correctly.
I am attempting to access the site by login into the website so I am using the following parameters
HOST: www.website.com (http://www.website.com)
USERNAME: USER (this is the user name of the ubuntu system who's home page has the website)
Password: *****
port: 20
When I attempt to connect I get the following error in filezilla.
Status: Resolving address of www.website.com (http://www.website.com)
Status: Connecting to 100.202.18.14:20...
Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".
Error: Could not connect to server
Does anyone know how I can test to see if vsftpd is installed correctly and running?
Any idea as to why I am getting this error?
Do I need to install another software package to get vsftpd work?
Do I need to turn any modules on?
Did I miss something during my setup?
Thanks,
Spindler
