Cannot read/write FTP directory vsftpd on centos 6.0 (empty folder)

  • 772

I have Centos 6.0 and installed vsftp with YUM, I added a user with Webmin panel, set its home dir to "/var/www/html" and its shell to "/bin/sh", user id is 500, user group is same as name: "adrian_ftp".

When I start a ftp program it logs in but the remote folder always shows empty. I set directory owner and group to adrian_ftp:adrian_ftp , no change, I also made them 0777, no change.

Any ideas? I tried for over 3-4 hours :|

ftp vsftpd directory home-directory file-permissions

    It's selinux for 99 % ;-)

    # getenforce
Enforcing

    Turn it off by:

    # setenforce 0
# vim /etc/sysconfig/selinux

    And set it to "disabled" in that file or "permissive" if you plan to turn it on sometime in future or you want to track selinux errors.

    For FTP I highly recommend NOT to turn it off. Follow the RHEL 6 guides how to set it up properly for a FTP site.
