I have an external HDD that i keep all my stuff on but when i wanted something of the drive or i had stuff to put on it i had to go get it plug it in do what i need to do, unplug it and then put it back. So i wanted to setup a local home ftp server so that i could just access from filezilla or somthing from anywhere in my house.

So, i got the latest version of vsftpd(via apt-get) and went through the vsftpd.conf file but i didn’t find option to point it to the location that i wanted it to put as the server(in this case i wanted to point it to the /media directory where my drive is located). This is where i need the help.

I have seen on the internet that apparently there was an earlier version that had an option in the config file to point it to a home directory which i'm assuming could be used to point to where i wanted, but i looked over this config file several times to make sure, but its not there.

  • Could you please pout your vsftpd.conf file? The standard is that if you connect by name, it goes to your home directory and if you connect anonymously, there is no default but the example conf file has an option to put it on /srv/ftp... ;-)

To change the default login directory for vsftpd, change the ftp user home directory in /etc/passwd:

ftp:x:116:116:vsftpd daemon:/media:/bin/false
