Making a file drop point with vsftpd 1.1.3
Is there any way to make it so that ftp users can only use the ftp as a file drop, without being able to do anything but upload the files?

I am using vsftp 1.1.3 - and it doesn't seem to accept the cmds_allowed command, or I am screwing it up in some way. Every time I try to use this option, it makes the ftp refuse all connections.

eg,
cmds_allowed=QUIT,STOR

I've set up the user locked in their own home directories, and that's pretty much all the change I have done with the base setup.

Eden.

p.s. this vsftpd came with Red Hat Linux 9.

p.p.s. I'm a LInux newb.

Well I foudn a kludgy fix. I set the directory rights to write only, and vsftp returns an error message when you log in and try to list the files in the directory.

chmod 720 ftpdir

drwx-w---- ftp ftp 512 ftpdir

You can still upload AND download files rather than just upload.

Can anyone tell me how to restrict it to upload-only?

Eden.

It would probably work if you added the LIST command as well.. Most FTP clients will run the LIST command first, just to get their bearings...
