ftp logging

[tombono]

Everytime when I change something I reboot the router.

Please take a look:

When I create a /jffs/configs/vsftpd.conf exactly as follows:

anonymous_enable=NO
nopriv_user=root
write_enable=YES
local_enable=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
local_umask=000
dirmessage_enable=NO
xferlog_enable=YES
syslog_enable=NO
connect_from_port_20=YES
use_localtime=YES
listen=YES
pasv_enable=YES
pasv_min_port=57530
pasv_max_port=57560
tcp_wrappers=NO
max_clients=5
ftp_username=anonymous
ftpd_banner=Welcome to ASUS RT-AC86U FTP service.
ssl_enable=NO
vsftpd_log_file=/mnt/USB/vsftpd.log
log_ftp_protocol=YES
dual_log_enable=YES
xferlog_file=/mnt/USB/xfer.log
listen_port=874

I reboot the router and /etc/vsftpd.conf has been changed - the content of the /etc/vsftpd.conf is the same as given above.

But despite these entries, logs and even the listen_port=874 parameter does not work.

Although I used this listen_port=874 parameter via /jffs/configs/vsftpd.conf.add, it worked ok

Mmaybe something when executing a script or /jffs/configs/vsftpd.conf without the ".add" function is not working OK

And one more thing.

I did a simple test by just changing the ftp port as an example.

I create a /jffs/configs/vsftpd.conf.add exactly as follows:

listen_port=874

Reboot the router and /etc/vsftpd.conf has been changed and ftp works on port 874 ok.


Next I removed /jffs/configs/vsftpd.conf.add and create a /jffs/configs/vsftpd.conf exactly as follows:

anonymous_enable=NO
nopriv_user=root
write_enable=YES
local_enable=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
local_umask=000
dirmessage_enable=NO
xferlog_enable=NO
syslog_enable=NO
connect_from_port_20=YES
use_localtime=YES
listen=YES
pasv_enable=YES
pasv_min_port=57530
pasv_max_port=57560
tcp_wrappers=NO
max_clients=5
ftp_username=anonymous
ftpd_banner=Welcome to ASUS RT-AC86U FTP service.
ssl_enable=NO
listen_port=874

Reboot the router and /etc/vsftpd.conf has been changed but ftp dont work on port 874

Delete the two config files:

rm /jffs/configs/vsftpd.conf
rm /jffs/configs/vsftpd.conf.add

Create the /jffs/scripts/vsftpd.postconf exactly as follows:

#!/bin/sh

CONFIG=$1
source /usr/sbin/helper.sh

pc_replace "xferlog_enable=NO" "xferlog_enable=YES" $CONFIG
pc_replace "syslog_enable=NO" "syslog_enable=YES"  $CONFIG

pc_append  "listen_port=874" $CONFIG

Then run these commands:

dos2unix /jffs/scripts/vsftpd.postconf
chmod 755 /jffs/scripts/vsftpd.postconf
service restart_ftpd

Can you now login to the ftp service on port 874?

I did exactly as you wrote and port 874 works ok, and now my /etc/vsftpd.conf looks like this:

anonymous_enable=NO
nopriv_user=root
write_enable=YES
local_enable=YES
chroot_local_user=YES
local_umask=000
dirmessage_enable=NO
xferlog_enable=YES
syslog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
use_localtime=YES
listen=YES
pasv_enable=YES
pasv_min_port=57530
pasv_max_port=57560
tcp_wrappers=NO
max_clients=5
ftp_username=anonymous
ftpd_banner=Welcome to ASUS RT-AC86U FTP service.
ssl_enable=NO
listen_port=874

Good. So now if you look at the router's System Log you should see vsftpd entries when you log in and transfer files.

@ColinTaylor
Now everything works great.

Thank you very much.
