If I do make it writeable, I get... |

|

500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable root inside chroot() |

Damned if I do; damned if I don't. |

I'm trying to transfer a turn-based video game (Galactic Civilizations |
| 20 |
2.5) from an OS/2 Warp 3.5 VM to modern, but backwards-compatible |
| 21 |
ArcaOS5 https://www.arcanoae.com/arcaos/ atftpd seems to be the answer. |
| 22 |
Both the old OS/2 and the new ArcaOS5 have a tftp client. I've got both |
| 23 |
of them talking with atftpd on my Gentoo desktop, and it's transferring |
| 24 |
data as I type. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Having said that, I really want to get an ftp server working, as a |
| 27 |
matter of principle. Please post your vsftpd.conf, and the output of |
| 28 |
"ls -al /home/ftp" to give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong. |
