How to disable FOG FTP passive mode?

Mb it can be helpful if I paste my vsftpd.conf here

You are kidding, right?!?! I have not tested this yet but I am fairly sure the config is causing the issue. If you had told us you have a modified config (different from what FOG generates for you) then we would have found the solution in no time.

chroot_local_user=YES
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd/empty
allow_writeable_chroot=YES

Pretty sure this is part of the issue. But there might be other config options as well.

Default config generated by FOG:

max_per_ip=200
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_std_format=YES
listen=YES
pam_service_name=vsftpd
userlist_enable=NO
seccomp_sandbox=NO

I’ll check and let you know
Probably I was stupid but it was required to have more than one FTP user with different FTP folders in that server.

@Single It’s all good, you are allowed to modify the config on your server to whatever you want. Just saying that letting us know right away would have saved you a lot of time.

@Sebastian-Roth Thx for your help, Sebatian!
I commented out line

chroot_local_user=YES

And now everything is just fine about my FOG installation.
MB it makes sense to add into FOG wiki - that vsftpd option is incompatible to FOG.

Now I need to find a way to chroot one user but not to chroot other, but it is definitely not a FOG problem. (And, it’s simple)

Thanks again.

Best regards!
