VSFTPD file delete/modify

kcpant — Fri, 03 Jun 2005 06:56:52 GMT

Hi friends,

I am fighiting with a small problem from last a day, I have allowed anonymous login to vsftpd, the anonymous users can upload files smoothly, but the problem arises when anonymous user wants to modify/delete a file, says "550 permission denied". can anybody tell me how I can make it possible to delete / modify files from the anonymous users's directories? I have tried every combination of settings on vsftpd.conf, and also changed permissions on the upload directory.

thanks in advance

I believe this is what your problem is:

from man vsftpd.conf

anon_other_write_enable
If set to YES, anonymous users will be permitted to perform write operations other than upload and create directory, such as deletion and renaming. This is generally not recommended but included for completeness.
Default: NO

Hope this helps,
Gopi
