ftp

Hi all,
I am not getting this problem while configuring vsftpd.can any one help me.
The error is :
500 OOPS : Cannot change directory : /home/sam.

I have user 'sam' . but i am getting access by typing 'ftp' in the place of username and password.
please solve this problem....

most probably look over permissions of /home/sam

hi kapil,
its 'drwxrwxrwx'

777 permissions are very dangerous and should not be used unless you know what you are doing. If the sam directory has 777, then maybe the home or / is not allowing access.

try ran setenforce 0, and test.(if it is not a prod system)

if it works, check to see if ftp_home_dir is set to "on"(see the below command)? If not, set it to "on" and then turn on SELinux(setenforce 1) and then try again.


# getsebool -a |grep ftp
allow_ftpd_anon_write --> off
allow_ftpd_full_access --> off
allow_ftpd_use_cifs --> off
allow_ftpd_use_nfs --> off
ftp_home_dir --> on
ftpd_disable_trans --> off
ftpd_is_daemon --> on
httpd_enable_ftp_server --> off
tftpd_disable_trans --> off
