cant login on the my ftp

Blicher 02 Sep 2008 20:00

Hi folks!

having trouble!

I´m TOTALY new in programming at all! but ftp on my mybook was just something i MUST HAVE! hehe!

I used this guide;

http://www.nanalegumene.net/using-ssh-and-ftp-on-western-digital-mybook-world/

and after that i really dident know what to do, because on the forums ppl dont write they EXACT has written in thir program files if u know what i mean..

problem is, i cant acces my ftp by typing ftp://192.168.1.5/ in IE and when i use my login and and thru windows i dont get acces either, BUT jeg can access it all by typing \\192.168.1.5\ on a random address field on my pc, and there i logged in using my user and pass

another thing that works is my wed managment interface…. :)
http://192.168.1.5:8080/cgi-bin/webif.sh

Here is what my files says;

1. Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf

#

1. The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file
2. loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable.
3. Please see vsftpd.conf.5 for all compiled in defaults.

#

1. READ THIS: This example file is NOT an exhaustive list of vsftpd options.
2. Please read the vsftpd.conf.5 manual page to get a full idea of vsftpd's
3. capabilities.

#

1. Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this out).

anonymous_enable=YES
#

1. Uncomment this to allow local users to log in.

#local_enable=YES
#

1. Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.

#write_enable=YES
#

1. Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,
2. if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)

#local_umask=022
#

1. Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only
2. has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will
3. obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.

#anon_upload_enable=YES
#

1. Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create
2. new directories.

#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
#

1. Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they
2. go into a certain directory.

dirmessage_enable=YES
#

1. Activate logging of uploads/downloads.

xferlog_enable=YES
#

1. Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data).

connect_from_port_20=YES
#

1. If you want, you can arrange for uploaded anonymous files to be owned by
2. a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not
3. recommended!

#chown_uploads=YES
#chown_username=whoever
#

1. You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown
2. below.

#xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
#

1. If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format

#xferlog_std_format=YES
#

1. You may change the default value for timing out an idle session.

#idle_session_timeout=600
#

1. You may change the default value for timing out a data connection.

#data_connection_timeout=120
#

1. It is recommended that you define on your system a unique user which the
2. ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user.

#nopriv_user=ftpsecure
#

1. Enable this and the server will recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not
2. recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it,
3. however, may confuse older FTP clients.

#async_abor_enable=YES
#

1. By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore
2. the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII
3. mangling on files when in ASCII mode.
4. Beware that on some FTP servers, ASCII support allows a denial of service
5. attack (DoS) via the command "SIZE /big/file" in ASCII mode. vsftpd
6. predicted this attack and has always been safe, reporting the size of the
7. raw file.
8. ASCII mangling is a horrible feature of the protocol.

#ascii_upload_enable=YES
#ascii_download_enable=YES
#

1. You may fully customise the login banner string:

#ftpd_banner=Welcome to blah FTP service.
#

1. You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently
2. useful for combatting certain DoS attacks.

#deny_email_enable=YES

1. (default follows)

#banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails
#

1. You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home
2. directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of
3. users to NOT chroot().

#chroot_list_enable=YES

1. (default follows)

#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
#

1. You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by
2. default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large
3. sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume
4. the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it.

#ls_recurse_enable=YES

You otherwise seem to have full network access, just not fpt. Nanalegumene's instructions don't seem to cover starting the ftp daemon program.

Can you confirm if vsftpd is running? At a prompt

[root@MYBOOKWORLD ~]# ps -ef | grep ftp

You should see an entry for vsftpd. If not then you have to find where the tar file you downloaded unzipped the vsftpd program to and run that. Test the connection and then worry about getting it to start automatically.

This link has instructions for how to set up autostart.

Alternatively, the fact you have SSH access means that you actually already have a secure FTP (SFTP) server running. If you get a proper FTP client which supports SFTP (I think FileZilla is one), rather than IE, then you could use this.

that was what i got back from the line i sent, so i gyess it isent running….

Re: cant login on the my ftp

chorlton 03 Sep 2008 13:35

Correct.

So vsftpd is NOT running on your machine. Try running it manually as root just now. Go to wherever it was installed and just type vsftpd. Then see if you can connect.

Re: cant login on the my ftp

Blicher 03 Sep 2008 15:03

Okay, i tried filezilla

i opended some ports on my router and did a quick connect with ony the local IP, end i get this:

Respons: 500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in 'ftp_username':ftp'

the guide says this;

Troubleshooting
If the user vsftpd expects to run as doesn't exist (say, as in my case, because it isn't reading vsftpd.conf in the expected location), you will get an error message like this one when you try to ftp into the server:

500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in 'ftp_username':ftp

Make sure vsftpd is reading the configuration file in the expected location and the username specified exists in /etc/passwd.

can u "translate" for me.. i mean… tell me exactly what to do? because i´m almost lost…. hehe!

Hope can help a poor guy from denmark

BTW i tried the code u sent after; and i got this:

[root@MYBOOKWORLD ~]# ps -ef | grep ftp
root 969 959 0 17:03 pts/1 00:00:00 grep ftp
[root@MYBOOKWORLD ~]#

still not turned on i think
