FTP - Help Needed

[jdubs]

Hey Guys

 

I'm using 5.0-rc12a and FlashFXP as my FTP client.  Trying to connect, I input the following into FlashFXP:

 

-IP address for TOWER

-Connection type = FTP

-User name = "root"

-password = blank

-port = 21

 

I get the following error in FlashFXP: "500 OOPS:  cannot read user list file:/boot/config/vsftpd.user_list"

 

Any idea how I can fix this and successfully connect via FTP to my UnRaid server?

 

Thanks!

Jim

Did you enter a list of permitted ftp users? root is not a good choice. Make a user called "admin" and enter it as a permitted ftp user.

I did not.  How do I do that?

 

Thanks,

Here's the stock vsftpd.conf file:

 

connect from port_20=YES

write_enable=YES

local_root=/mnt

local_umask=0

 

anonymous_enable=NO

 

local_enable=YES

userlist_enable=YES

userlist_deny=NO

userlist_file=/boot/config/vsftpd.user_list

check_shell=NO

 

syslog_enable=YES

log_ftp_protocol=NO

xferlog_enable=NO

 

dirmessage_enable=NO

ls_recurse_enable=YES

 

 

 

Also, the vsftpd.user_list file is blank.  Do I just put "admin" as the first line and save the file?

 

Thanks again,

Jim

There is no need to edit any file. Use the unRAID GUI.

Thanks.  You can specify the ftp user, but what's the password?

Bump...anyone?

[dgaschk]

The password for what?

[jdubs]

Sorry, the password for using an FTP program.  When I use FlashFXP and login with a blank password, I get the following dialog:

 

"Connecting to 192.168.1.12 -> IP=192.168.1.12 PORT=21

Connected to 192.168.1.12

220 (vsFTPd 2.2.2)

USER admin

331 Please specify the password.

PASS (hidden)

530 Login incorrect."

What is the password for the user "admin"?

If anyone else is expeiencing this, Use the GUI and go to 'settings' then click 'ftp server', make sure it is enabled and add your user to the users list. Comma seperated.

This thread you have replied to is more than 7 years old and for Unraid versions older than V6.

 

It is generally not recommended to enable the built in FTP. You certainly shouldn't expose it to the internet
