[gentoo-user] trouble with vsftpd

[David Relson]

I have installed vsftpd but it's not working.  When I try to retrieve a
file, not much happens.

"wget -nd ftp://localhost/test.txt" produces:

  --11:23:39--  ftp://localhost/test.txt
           => `test.txt'
  Resolving localhost... 127.0.0.1
  Connecting to localhost|127.0.0.1|:21... connected.
  Logging in as anonymous ... 
  Login incorrect.

and (from another machine) "wget -nd ftp://osage/test.txt" produces:

--11:23:21--  ftp://osage/test.txt
           => `test.txt'
  Resolving osage... 192.168.1.10
  Connecting to osage|192.168.1.10|:21... connected.
  Logging in as anonymous ... 
  Error in server response, closing control connection.
  Retrying.

after these attempts, /var/log/messages shows:

  <date> osage xinetd[7153]: START: ftp pid=30268 from=192.168.1.2 
  <date> osage xinetd[30268]: FAIL: ftp address from=192.168.1.2 
  <date> osage xinetd[7153]: EXIT: ftp status=0 pid=30268 duration=0(sec)

/etc/xinet.d/vsftpd contains:

  # default: off
  # description: Vsftpd is an FTP server, designed to be secure.
  # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-ftp/vsftpd/files/vsftpd.xinetd,v

  service ftp
  {
	socket_type     = stream
	wait            = no
	user            = root
	server          = /usr/sbin/vsftpd
	server_args     = /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
	log_on_success  += DURATION 
	nice            = 10
	disable         = no
 }

What else should I be checking?

Thanks.

David
