proftpd anonymous login

On a debian sarge kernel 2.6 i'm using proftpd as anonymous ftp and as anoymous it should let me in any password i give as email address and that's what i get once i login:

Code:

Looking up ftp.cacca.cx
Trying mail.cacca.cx:21

I cancelled from /etc/pam.d/proftpd anything refered to pam autentication:I'm using very permissive umask rules on proftpd.conf 011 011

P.S.
I just used ftp-ssl as client and it logged me in ... i'm using gftp ... i wonder what's wrong in its options....

 

You shouldn't have done this.

Did you try both active and passive transfers in your FTP client?

What's in /etc/proftpd.conf?

You mean SFTP? It uses port 22 (SSH) and has nothing to do with normal FTP.

 

It doesn't log me in with any ftp client ... anyway this is my /etc/pam.d/proftpd.conf:

This is my proftpd.conf:

I only want anonymous logins and users have an incoming dir where upload files and nothing else and a pub dir where download from and nothing else ... as you see i tried to disable the pam module which is on by default but not mandatory for logins as far as i know so it should let me in even if it's not been loaded :

And i forgot :it's a debian sarge kernel 2.6.8-2-386 and :

 

Can you replace your anonymous FTP configuration with this?

Code:

        <Anonymous /path/to/ftp>
          User                          ftp
          Group                         nogroup
          UserAlias                     anonymous ftp
          UserAlias                     guest ftp
          MaxClients                    10
          <Directory *>
            <Limit WRITE>
              DenyAll
            </Limit>
          </Directory>
          <Directory /path/to/ftp/incoming>
            Umask                       002
            <Limit STOR>
              AllowAll
            </Limit>
            <Limit READ>
              DenyAll
            </Limit>
          </Directory>
        </Anonymous>

Make sure you replace /path/to/ftp and that the user ftp and the group nogroup exist.

 

/home/ftp is owned by ftp:nogroup 644 ftp user has noshell in /etc/shells
I tryied the configuration you gave me and it doesn't let me in as anonymous ,but it does still as normal user,and still ... shows the server vesion .Basically that's the conf i'm actually using:

I would like incoming dir for uploads and only uploads and a pub where only downloads are allowed

 

What do you mean with that?
What's the output of

Code:

grep ftp /etc/passwd

?

 

I meant the anonyous chrooted ftp home is owned by the anonymous ftp user ... does it ?
Anyway i installed wu-ftpd and i got over this ... thanks anyway !

 

i think it is just a gftp problem if proftpd is not accepting connections :

With ftp instead everything it 's all right , still as normal user:

and also as anonymous all right:

What's the problem with gftp ?
An another thing is proftpd is not writing logs i have this directive in proftpd.conf

And this an ls -la on /var/log/proftpd.log

proftpd is running as user nobody and as group nogroup.If something it's not clear just ask ... thanks !

 

I think the log file is /var/log/xferlog.

 

I have to call it xferlog anyway ?Cause i don't have a file that name ...

 

I think it's created when you upload/download with FTP for the first time.
