Fc4- Vsftpd- How To Configure For Dreamweaver?

stevea86 · #1 22nd March 2006, 07:50 PM

Before you reply keep in mind I have read and read and read and I just cannot get it. I am setting up an ecommerce site for myself, and I have hired a programmer to write a mysql database. I have successfully set up apache and now I need FTP access to the /www directory, and the mysql and PHP databse locations (wherever, I have no clue). I have read several turorials and walk throughs, I barely understand what chroot is, and I cannot tell if I need it or not. I just want NO anonymous access, and a write enabled PASSWORDED WEBMASTER account with access to those/that directories. Thank you in advance to anyone willing to walk me through what should be pretty simple, I just cannot follow.....

Here is the vsftpd.conf as it is currently. No matter what, I can connect to the server but get rejected when logging in, incorrect login 530. I have tried everything, I even bought the Fedora Core 4 and RH10 BIBLE, saim info as on the internet.

anonymous_enable=no
local_enable=yes
background=yes
listen=yes
write_enable=yes
local_umask=022
ascii_upload_enable=yes
ascii_download_enable=yes
ls_recurse_enable=yes
userlist_deny=no
userlist_enable=yes

In user_list in /etc/vsftpd I have two local account, both of which have passwd entries in /etc/passwd. Still cannot login, even when using "ftp localhost". Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here?

[root@xxx /]# ftp localhost

Whats the deal? I really need some help here. I am reading the Fedora Bible from start to finish so that I can adminster this server myself, but I need to at least get FTP running in the mean time. I would appreciate any response.
