not being able to see files via ftp

Featured Replies

So I was reading that in the new 4.3 final version that the vsftp issue was fixed with not being able to cd into dirs.  Im assuming that this does not mean that you can see files though correct?  Here is a comparison of my version with the line changed against the new one:

 

root@Tower:/etc# diff /boot/vsftpd.conf /etc/vsftpd.conf

21d20

< anon_world_readable_only=NO

root@Tower:/etc#

 

 

I thought I read somewhere that this would be included in a new release.  Maybe in the future.  Just wondering what is the point of having an ftp daemon running if its unusable.  Maybe Im missing something obvious?

Hey Guys, I just got unRAID up and running, and I created a usershare "Backup", I am able to connect via ftp with the username that I created that is also a "Valid User" on the share setup, and am able to view the share name "Backup" tho its under a "user" directory. I am able to upload files, but I can't seem to be able to view the files I put up there in my ftp window, now if I go to a windows machine that is on the local network and goto run and type \\tower i can see the share "Backup" and the files I uploaded, also at the top level for \\tower I can see a share for each hard drive i have in the system along with a share for the flash drive.

 

Is there another setting I need to enable in order to view the files via FTP?

 

Thanks!

I had the same behavior.  This fixed it for me, hope it works for you.  I changed the permissions of the files to 666 and they showed up.  Telnet to you're "Backup" folder and enter the command: chmod 666 * -R

 

You might be having a different problem, but it's worth a try.

That syntax seems a tiny bit wrong... the -R can't be at the end of the command, it must be the first argument...

Also, changing the directory permissions to 666 seems very wrong to me.  It makes them readable and writable, but not able to be in a search path.  But, assuming you are right, the syntax would be: chmod -R 666 *

 

I would limit that to only files personally, since the normal file permissions I see on my server are 700 and the directory permissions are 755

 

so, something like this might be better

find /mnt/user -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

find /mnt/user -type f -exec chmod 700 {} \;

Thanks Joe for the correction.  Next time I'll not rely on my memory.  ;D

 

I think I'll rerun my chmod with you're commands.

Thank you that worked awesome!!

I apologies I have to invoke such an old thread but I had to as .....

 

1. I could not find any more information on this issue apart from this thread.

2. and I could not find a way to start a new thread ....

 

Anyway I am in the same boat, my unraid server is up and running, but when I access it via cuteFTP all I can see is the disk1 and the share ("test") I created. No files or even the folders are visible that I created under my test share.

 

The command discussed here ...

 

find /mnt/user -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

find /mnt/user -type f -exec chmod 700 {} \;

 

gives me the error ......

 

-bash: find/mnt/user/: No such file or directory

 

I ran the command on the root directory which is

 

root@samtower:~#

 

Any help would be highly appreciated ....

 

Thanks in advance

Regards

Sammy

It is

find  /mnt/user

Not

find/mnt/user

 

Note a space is needed between the "find" command and the path used as the starting point.

 

The way you typed it, it was looking for a find/mnt/user command, and that does not exist.

 

It is

find   /mnt/user

Not

find/mnt/user

 

Note a space is needed between the "find" command and the path used as the starting point.

 

The way you typed it, it was looking for a find/mnt/user command, and that does not exist.

 

 

Ok omitting the space give the below error ...

 

find: Missing argument to '-exec'

 

EDIT ::: Worked, seems I was not providing proper space in the command ........ which when I did I was brought back to the command prompt, which I presume means that the command worked.

 

Thanks for the assistance

Just one more small query, if I stop or restart my server, do I need to provide these commands again or, it is a one time process.

I am invoaking this thread again coz of the same reason.........less support on this particular issue. Ok as I have quoted myself the issue is the same. I have to re run the two commands to view new files and folders I create on my share. Once the command is run I start seeing the files and folders, however if I create new folder or copy new files I am not able to view them via ftp unless I re run the command ........ any way out of this circle ......

 

Thanks in advance

Friends any input on this, I shouldn't be pushed to open a new thread if the issue is already addressed, right, but then I dont get any response. I am able to successfully access my FTP from internet as well, how ever with this issue to view my files and folders I have to run the commands again and again. There must be a way out of this .,,,,, Help????

  • 1 year later...

did you ever find a solution for this?  Perhaps by having files and directories by default be written with those permissions somehow?

No nate I did not get anysolution for this. How ever there this one work around. If I use SSH to connect via ftp, I am able to see the files, irrespective of the commands run. But if I connect via normal ftp, I dont see files unless I run those two commands ...
