vsftpd : allow access only for certains users

Question

I should want to set server ftp to allow only certains users.

So with vsftpd I set the vsftpd.conf with :

local_enable=YES
user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd_user_conf

In /etc/vsftpd_user_conf for the unix user foo I set in a file foo :

local_root=/home/foo/ftpdir
anon_world_readable_only=NO
write_enable=YES
anon_upload_enable=YES
anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
anon_other_write_enable=YES
virtual_use_local_privs=YES
local_umask=022

... and I launch vsftpd. I can log in ftp with user foo. But I also can with other unix user ! How can I disabled other unix users ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

In vsftpd.conf add:
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd.userlist
userlist_deny=NO

Edit the file to contain a username per row.

Answer 2

add the user you want to deny to user_list list.

Answer 3

there is a file in /etc/ftpusers put the allowed one only here.

no need to define in vsftpd
