ftp download failed

we set up one Anonymous FTP account and copy files into that folder.

if we start the internet explorer and open the ftp connection, we see the files but if we start to download the files we got only an error message "website can´t be displayed", so it seems that the files are not found.

any idea, thanks !

 

only for testing we use the IE7 included FTP service. the problem is that only with the ispconfig based FTP server we are having that problem. if i use a different FTP server based on a standard SUSE installation we could download the listed files without any problem.

so i think it must be anything with the proFTP configuration or an ispconfig setting.

thanks for your help.

 

Can you try with a real FTP client such as WS_FTP, SmartFTP, or gFTP?
Do you see any errors in your logs?

 

The problem is the same with any ftp client. strange is that if i copy with the admin ftp account some files to the ftp directory "ftp/incoming", logout and login again as anonymous i can´t see any file. the folder flag of "/incoming" is 773, so the read flag is missing. if i change this to 775 or 777 i could see the files as anonymous but i can´t download it. the ftp util is equal e.g if i use filezilla i get the error message "550 dban-1.0.7_i386.iso: Permission denied".

unfortunately i can´t find any log for the proftp. i think it should be in var/log/proftp but there is not such a folder.

thanks !

 

Can you post your ProFTPd configuration here? This should be in /etc/proftpd.conf or /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf.

 

here it is, hope it helps.

Hello Till,

sorry that was not knowignly, may this was happen during testing. i think both entries should not be there, so the last line shout be:
# Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot
<Limit WRITE>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Anonymous>

i remove the lines and will test again, thanks !

 

i checked the files and it was a user problem with the cat command because i use a wildcard to show the files. sorry for the confusion !

now the correct file:
[root@web1 etc]# cat proftpd.conf
