Disabling Anonymous FTP access server wide

[Domenico]

I want to disable Anonymous FTP access for everyone and I removed that section from proftpd.conf but when I see the logfiles I see people rejected from www.domain.com but not from the real IP adresses.

When they try to do an anon login they get connected instead of refused like when they try www.domain.com

Why is that?

I want to DISABLE anon ftp access for everybody all the time. How?

Thank you!

Anyone?

Create a file named \"ftpuser\" and put the following lines in it:

anonymous
ftp

Then place the file in your etc directory.

[Domenico]

And what does this do?

[Curious Too]

Any user listed in the ftpuser file is denied FTP access to the server.

[Domenico]

Well, I did this, restarted proftpd an tried to login anonymous.

login to www.domain.com failed (it asks for a pasword) but when they try to connect to the IP they can connect en see the dir with incoming. They can\'t do anything but I don\'t want them to connect :-(
I don\'t want ANY connect through anon ftp.

using this ftpuser file in /etc doesn\'t change a thing.

I added this to ftpuser

anonymous
ftp
root
uucp
news

Works fine - denies them entry

--James [/quote:a8df8091f4] interesting do you need to chmod the ftpuser file in anyway ?

It works with anonymous but for some reason the user \"ftp\" still gets through

[tabernack]

Is the file suppose to be called:

ftpuser

or

ftpusers

?

I tried both and it still doesn\'t work. Cpanel keeps adding Anon FTP with each account.

[tabernack]

Cpanel will keep adding those accounts, but with the ftpusers file using the username anonymous will not work.
