Enable vsftpd:
Red Hat/Fedora Core/CentOS: VsFTPd is a stand alone service and by the default Fedora Core installation, not controlled by xinetd as is the wu-ftpd default installation.Thus start service: service vsftpd start (or: /etc/init.d/vsftpd start)
Configure vsftpd to start upon system boot: chkconfig --add vsftpd
vsFTPd configuration file
Fedora Core / Red Hat: /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
anonymous_enable=YES - Anonymous FTP allowed by default if you comment this out. Default directory used: /var/ftp
local_enable=YES - Uncomment this to allow local users to log in with FTP.
write_enable=YES - Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write or upload command.
local_umask=022 - Default is 077. Umask 022 is used by most other ftpd's.
#anon_upload_enable=YES - Uncomment to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files.
Requires the above global write enabled. Directory must also be writable by user.
#anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES - Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to be able to create new directories.
dirmessage_enable=YES - Activate directory messages.
Messages given to remote users when they enter certain directories
xferlog_enable=YES - Activate logging of uploads/downloads.
connect_from_port_20=YES - PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data)
#chown_uploads=YES - Uploaded anonymous files set to a specified owner. (not root)

#idle_session_timeout=600 - Set timing out for an idle session.
#data_connection_timeout=120 - Set timing out for an idle data connection. Port 20
#nopriv_user=ftpsecure - Run ftp server as an isolated and unprivileged user.
# Enable this and the server will recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not
# recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it, may confuse older FTP clients.
#async_abor_enable=YES
#ascii_upload_enable=YES - Improve performance by disabling ASCII mode. Disables command "ascii" and "SIZE /big/file".
#ascii_download_enable=YES
#ftpd_banner=Welcome to YoLinux - Customize the login banner string.
#deny_email_enable=YES - Disallow specified anonymous e-mail addresses. Used to combat certain DoS attacks.
#banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails (default)
#chroot_list_enable=YES - List users chroot()'d to their home directory. If "NO", list users not chroot()'d.
#chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list (default)
ls_recurse_enable=YES - Allow "ls -R" recursive directory list. Default is disabled.
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=YES - (Default) Deny users specified in file /etc/vsftpd.user_list
If "userlist_enable=NO" then allow specified users.
#deny_email_enable=YES - Disallow specified anonymous e-mail addresses. Used to combat certain DoS attacks.
listen=YES - Enable for standalone mode as opposed to an xinetd service.
tcp_wrappers=YES
Restart the FTP service if the config file is changed: service vsftpd restart (or: /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart)
[Potential Pitfall]: vsftp does NOT support comments on the same line as a directive. i.e.:
- directive=XXX # comment
Specify list of local users chrooted to their home directories: /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.chroot_list
(Requires: chroot_list_enable=YES)
user1
user2
...
user-n
If userlist_enable=NO, then specify users not to be chroot'd
Specify list of users: /etc/vsftpd.user_list
(Deny list of users requires: userlist_enable=YES)
Also see PAM configuration below.

Test if vsftp is listening: netstat -a | grep ftp
[root]# netstat -a | grep ftpWU-FTPd and FTP user account configuration:
tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN
The wu-ftpd FTP server can be downloaded (binary or source) from it's home page at http://wu-ftpd.org.
There are three kinds of FTP logins that wu-ftpd provides:
- anonymous FTP - one logs in with the username 'anonymous'
- real FTP - log in with a real username and password and has access to the entire disk structure.
- guest FTP - one logs in with a real user name and password, but the user is chroot'ed to his home directory and cannot escape from it. They are constrained to their home directory which also means that they don't have access to /bin/ls and other commands on the server. Thus a local minimalist environment must be set up.
The file /etc/ftpaccess controls the configuration of ftp.

noretrieve passwd .htaccess core - Do not allow users to download files of these names

byte-limit in 5000 - Limit file size
guestuser * - Set system user default to be categorized as a "guest". A "real" user can roam the system. Guestuser is chrooted.
realgroup regularuserx regularusery - Assign real user privileges to members of groups "regularuserx" and "regularusery".
Visibility of the whole file system and subject to regular UNIX file permissions
realuser user4 - Assign real user privileges to user id "user4".
restricted-uid user1 user2 user3 - Restricts FTP to the specified directories
guest-root /home/user1/public_html user1
guest-root /home/user2/public_html user2
guest-root /home/user3/public_html user3
- user1, user2 and user3 refer to login accounts. Use the appropriate login name.
- The above configuration disables anonymous FTP which allows anyone to perform an FTP login with the id anonymous and an email address as a password. To enable anonymous FTP, change the class directive to:
- class all real,guest,anonymous *
- GUI FTP configuration tools:
- /usr/bin/kwuftpd
- /sbin/linuxconf
(Note: Linuxconf is no longer included with Red Hat 7.3 and later)
- Red Hat Linux assigns users a user id and group id which is the same. This means that it does not matter if you use a realuser or realgroup directive as they will act the same.
- Red Hat Linux 7.1 and later uses the xinet daemon to manage ftp connections. Thus xinetd must be running and configured to support ftp. The configuration file is /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd. The command chkconfig wu-ftpd on will make the ftp server available. See xinet configuration for more info.
- Allow overide of deny-uid and/or deny-gid:
allow-uid user-to-allow
allow-gid group-to-allow - Optional configuration:
- Create a group ftpchroot
- Add users to this group
- Use directive: guestgroup ftpchroot
[Potential Pitfall]: Flakey ftp behavior, timeouts, etc?? FTP works best with name resolution of the computer it is communicating with. This requires proper /etc/resolve.conf and name server (bind) configuration, /etc/hosts or NIS/NFS configuration.

You have tried to upload a file with an inappropriate name.
The whole point of the chroot directory is to make the user's home directory appear to be the root of the filesystem (/) so one could not wander around the filesystem. Configuration of /etc/ftpaccess will limit the user to their respective directories while still offering access to /bin/ls and other system commands used in FTP operation.
As root:
cd /home/user1
mkdir public_html
chown $1.$1 public_html
