14 # No PAM sessions to save resources
17 # Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this out).
20 # Uncomment this to allow local users to log in.
23 # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
26 # Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,
27 # if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)
30 # Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only
31 # has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will
32 # obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.
33 #anon_upload_enable=YES
35 # Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create
37 #anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
39 # Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they
40 # go into a certain directory.
43 # Activate logging of uploads/downloads.
46 # Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data).
47 connect_from_port_20=NO
49 # If you want, you can arrange for uploaded anonymous files to be owned by
50 # a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not
53 #chown_username=whoever
55 # You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown
57 #xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
59 # If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format
60 xferlog_std_format=YES
62 # You may change the default value for timing out an idle session.
63 #idle_session_timeout=600
65 # You may change the default value for timing out a data connection.
66 #data_connection_timeout=120
68 # It is recommended that you define on your system a unique user which the
69 # ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user.
72 # Enable this and the server will recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not
73 # recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it,
74 # however, may confuse older FTP clients.
75 #async_abor_enable=YES
77 # By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore
78 # the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII
79 # mangling on files when in ASCII mode.
80 # Beware that turning on ascii_download_enable enables malicious remote parties
81 # to consume your I/O resources, by issuing the command "SIZE /big/file" in
83 # These ASCII options are split into upload and download because you may wish
84 # to enable ASCII uploads (to prevent uploaded scripts etc. from breaking),
85 # without the DoS risk of SIZE and ASCII downloads. ASCII mangling should be
86 # on the client anyway..
87 #ascii_upload_enable=YES
88 #ascii_download_enable=YES
90 # You may fully customise the login banner string:
91 #ftpd_banner=Welcome to blah FTP service.
93 # You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently
94 # useful for combatting certain DoS attacks.
95 #deny_email_enable=YES
97 #banned_email_file=/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails
99 # You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home
100 # directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of
101 # users to NOT chroot().
102 #chroot_list_enable=YES
104 #chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
106 # You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by
107 # default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large
108 # sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume
109 # the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it.

115 # This option is examined if userlist_enable is activated. If you set this
116 # setting to NO, then users will be denied login unless they are explicitly
117 # listed in the file specified by userlist_file. When login is denied, the
118 # denial is issued before the user is asked for a password.
121 # If enabled, vsftpd will load a list of usernames, from the filename given by
122 # userlist_file. If a user tries to log in using a name in this file, they
123 # will be denied before they are asked for a password. This may be useful in
124 # preventing cleartext passwords being transmitted. See also userlist_deny.
127 # If enabled, vsftpd will display directory listings with the time in your
128 # local time zone. The default is to display GMT. The times returned by the
129 # MDTM FTP command are also affected by this option.
132 # If set to YES, local users will be (by default) placed in a chroot() jail in
133 # their home directory after login. Warning: This option has security
134 # implications, especially if the users have upload permission, or shell access.
135 # Only enable if you know what you are doing. Note that these security implications
136 # are not vsftpd specific. They apply to all FTP daemons which offer to put
137 # local users in chroot() jails.
