Vsftpd user control config not working

[Morth]

I haven’t worked on a linux system in about 6 years so I’m a little rusty and wasn’t that great 6 years ago. I’m trying to create a user that can only upload to the server. I have picked at several post tutorial and such but it’s still not working. Currently you can still upload and download even though you should only be able to upload. I’m sure I’m missing something but have no clue what


vsftpd configuration

write_enable=YES
listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
anon_upload_enable=NO
anon_mkdir_write_enable=NO
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
idle_session_timeout=600
data_connection_timeout=120
ftpd_banner=Welcome to FTCGC's FTP service.
chroot_local_user=YES
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd
pam_service_name=vsftpd
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/vsftpd.pem
user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd_user_conf

upload user config

dirlist_enable=YES
download_enable=NO
local_root=/home/upload
write_enable=yes

I figured it out well found someone that did at least…. The config files must be owned by root or vsftpd will ignore them. It’s explained in more detail and even shows some source code explaining the requirement. Hmm well it wont let me post the link so it's at www hajjar us / networktricks / vsftpd_ignore_ucd_files.html
