11 # Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this out).
14 # Uncomment this to allow local users to log in.
17 # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
20 # Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,
21 # if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)
24 # Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only
25 # has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will
26 # obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.
27 #anon_upload_enable=YES

31 #anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
33 # Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they
34 # go into a certain directory.
37 # Activate logging of uploads/downloads.
40 # Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data).

44 # a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not
47 #chown_username=whoever
49 # You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown
51 #xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
53 # If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format.
54 # Note that the default log file location is /var/log/xferlog in this case.

64 # ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user.
65 #nopriv_user=ftpsecure

68 # recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it,

72 # By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore
73 # the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII
74 # mangling on files when in ASCII mode.
75 # Beware that on some FTP servers, ASCII support allows a denial of service
76 # attack (DoS) via the command "SIZE /big/file" in ASCII mode. vsftpd
77 # predicted this attack and has always been safe, reporting the size of the
79 # ASCII mangling is a horrible feature of the protocol.

100 # You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by
101 # default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large
102 # sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume
103 # the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it.

106 # When "listen" directive is enabled, vsftpd runs in standalone mode and
107 # listens on IPv4 sockets. This directive cannot be used in conjunction
108 # with the listen_ipv6 directive.
111 # This directive enables listening on IPv6 sockets. To listen on IPv4 and IPv6
112 # sockets, you must run two copies of vsftpd with two configuration files.
113 # Make sure, that one of the listen options is commented !!
