Issue
I've successfully installed & configured vsftp. I've created a user (joe) & companion group (joes).
My user 'joe' can create, update, & delete files in it's 'home' directory without error WHEN logged in via ssh. Joe's home directoy has been set to /var/www/site via usermod -d. Joe can CRUD any files in /tmp, /home/joe, & /var/www/site when logged into the OS via ssh. After checking this I set the joe's shell to 'noshell' via usermod -s
ftpuser's local directory permissions: drwxrwxr-x. 2 ftpuser root 27 Jun 8 10:05 site
The Joe can successfully login vsftpd using FileZilla. But the Joe cannot drop files to it's home directory using FileZilla. Joe can get files from the ftp hosted directory.
Here is the current procedure I'm creating to accomplish this task.
# yum install vsftpd
# service vsftpd stop
# vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.userlist
add: joe
# vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
add/edit:
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=NO
chroot_local_user=YES
local_umask=022
userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.userlist
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_deny=NO
then
# useradd -d /var/www/site -s /usr/sbin/nologin joe
# passwd joe
# chown -R joe /var/www/site
# chmod 775 /var/www/site
# vi /etc/shells
if necessary, add: /usr/sbin/nologin
# addgroup joes
# usermod -G joes joe
# service vsftpd start
Starting vsftpd is successful and without errors.
What does it take to configure vsftp to allow joe to load files from a remote?
Solution
These two things make this work:
local_umask=777
and
useradd joe -d /var/www/site
no permutation of chown and/or chown appear to affect any positive outcome
