Even got it working, with a chroot jail for users and all. I fiddled with something (permissions--I was trying to make the files in the ftp users folders visible to me outside of su through dolphin). That messed things up, so I redid all the users, and redid the entire ftp configuration, using (as far as I know), the exact same steps as before, and I can no longer get the ftp server to work--I keep getting the 500 error, and it doesn't seem to go away, no matter what I try.

from a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 20 server, and I'll be logged in as root. The Fix This error may occur when attempting to connect to a vsftpd FTP server that is https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/432986-How-to-resolve-ftp-error-500-OOPS-cannot-change-directory-home-ftp-user1 configured to jail (prevent from accessing other directories) each FTP user. It is best practice to create Linux users specifically for FTP, that can't login via SSH. For example, if you wanted to remove SSH access for testuser, then you'd use the following command: usermod -s /sbin/nologin testuser However, that won't address the problem listed in the error. To do that, you must make the user's https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/error-500-oops-vsftpd-refusing-to-run-with-writable-root-inside-chroot-solved/ home directory read only. Assuming the username is testuser and the home directory is /home/testuser, then execute the following command: chmod a-w /home/testuser For good measure, be sure to restart vsftpd: systemctl restart vsftpd Alternative Fix Alternatively, you can bypass the writable check in the vsftpd config file by running the following two commands: echo 'allow_writeable_chroot=YES' >> /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf systemctl restart vsftpd Want to Try This Tutorial?

Until I tried to change the permissions of the user so the user couldn't go in the / directory and only in the directories inside /home/user/public_html. It could have to do something with the fact ftp error 500 that I did this: sudo chmod 700 -R / I have a user, ftpUser and he is inside a group, ftpUsers. The permissions of /home/user/public_html are: drwxrwxr-x 9 ftpUser ftpUsers 4096 My VSFTPD file looks like this: listen=YES anonymous_enable=NO local_enable=YES write_enable=YES local_umask=022 connect_from_port_20=NO chroot_local_user=YES pam_service=vsftpd userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd.userlist userlist_enable=YES userlist_deny=NO And in /etc/vsftpd.userlist there is only one line: ftpUser How do I solve this so I can login, it think it has to do something with permissions but I don't now what it is!? server permissions directory vsftpd share|improve this question edited Aug 10 '12 at 15:16 asked Aug 10 '12 at 12:07 tversteeg 130116 Is user ftpUser a local or a virtual user? And does he has a home dir? –OrangeTux Aug 10 '12 at 13:00 It's a local user, and the home dir is /home/user/public_html, but now I tried to reboot Ubuntu server and I cannot log in with any account... –tversteeg Aug 10 '12 at 13:01 And when you set chroot_local_user=NO? Just for checking it that is the problem. I think that it has to do with that. –OrangeTux Aug 10 '12 at 13:04 Then I still get the same error! &nda
in. 500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable root inside chroot () This is due to the following update: - Add stronger checks for the configuration error of running with a writeable root directory inside a chroot(). This may bite people who carelessly turned on chroot_local_user but such is life. The problem is that your users root directory is writable, which isn't allowed when using chroot restrictions in the new update. To fix this you must either remove write permissions on the users root directory with the following command, replacing the directory with your users root: chmod a-w /home/user Or you can work around this security check by adding either of the two below into your configuration file. For the standard vsFTPd build (vsftpd): allow_writeable_chroot=YES For the extended vsFTPd build (vsftpd-ext): allow_writable_chroot=YES Removing the write permission on the root isn't a perfect solution as doing this can cause a few problems with things that need to write to the root directory, such as the bash history file or some graphical environments. Dmitriy has suggested 3 ways to also overcome this problem, be sure to check them out. 101 Comments Posted by Ben in Linux Tagged 500 oops, chroot, vsftpd 101 Comments Nick January 10, 2012 at 6:38 pm This solution will then prevent user from uploading any files since they won't have write access to the directory. How do you solve if the purpose of the FTP access is to allow uploading of files? Ben January 10, 2012 at 6:46 pm It will only prevent uploading files to the users root directory, not any sub-directories. I didn't have this issue as I don't write to the root directory but instead have various sub-directories for each website. I'm going to assume that this is the only way of working around this unless you compile from source and remove that part of the update yourself. Nick January 10, 2012 at 8:42 pm Thanks. Seems strange to require that a person CD into a subdirectory in order to upload files. I tried setting local_root to something other than the user's home directory -- but that still creates the same error -- because after the FTP connection is established it does a chroot() to that new directory. Seems like vsftpd works hard to require a person to explicitly CD into a subdirectory before uploading files. Is this some new FTP security best practice? Or just a vsftpd oddity? I haven't tried it, but I'm guessing "virtual users" will have the same issue… Ben January
