I've had anonymous ftp working fine before. It works now for downloading, but I can't upload. I reinstalled one machine with a fresh install of RH6, and did an upgrade from RH5.2 to RH6 on another. Whilst I can connect to either of these by anonymous ftp and download files (from each other and from a third machine), I now can't upload to pub/incoming. When I try to I get the message: 553 filename: Permission denied. (Upload) I've upgraded the wu-ftpd package to the latest on the errata pages at RedHat and now I get a different message: 553 filename: Permission denied on server. (Upload) Permissions are like this: [root@child ftp]# dir -l total 5 d--x--x--x 2 root root 1024 Jun 13 1998 bin d--x--x--x 2 root root 1024 Jun 13 1998 etc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jun 13 1998 lib dr-xr-sr-x 12 root ftp 2048 Aug 3 16:14 pub [root@child pub]# dir -l [snip] drwx-wx-wx 2 root ftp 3072 Aug 3 16:26 incoming /etc/ftpaccess class all real,guest,anonymous * email root@localhost loginfails 5 readme README* login readme README* cwd=* message /welcome.msg login message .message cwd=* compress yes all tar yes all chmod no guest,anonymous delete no guest,anonymous overwrite no guest,anonymous rename no guest,anonymous log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound shutdown /etc/shutmsg passwd-check rfc822 warn #I've tried adding these lines from the man page: upload /home/ftp * no upload /home/ftp /pub/incoming yes ftp daemon 0666 #and also tried: anonymous-root /home/ftp Since I can login and download files I'm assuming that authentication is OK. However RH6 appears to use shadow passwords which I think 5.2 did not (?) The incoming directories are empty so it's not an overwriting problem. The permissions seem OK to me (?). Any suggestions?
