    How to define FTP users?

    Hi guys. I configured vsftpd on my suse 10.2, but don't know how to define users that can log in to my ftp. I tried to edit /etc/vsftpd.conf and change anonymous_enable=yes and it works, I can access my ftp without having to log in, but I don't want that. I would like do define user names and passwords to access ftp. Can please someone tell me how to do that.

    Thanx, it helped a lot. It is a very useful guid. But still I have one problem left , I can not upload to my ftp. Does anyone know the correct property in vsftpd.conf file that would enable this. Thanx again gogalthorp.

    I've solved the problem. If anyone wants to know...In order to enable the virtual users to upload files you must enable anonymous switches in /etc/vsftpd.conf like these:

    anonymous_enable=no
    anon_world_readable_only=no
    anon_upload_enable=yes
    anon_mkdir_write_enable=yes
    anon_other_write_enable=yes
