VSFTP configuring virtual user using passwd

Why won't vsftpd let me log in with a virtual user account?

I'm trying to configure virtual FTP users along with real users on a server. I installed VSFTP and it works fine. I tried to follow this tutorial: http://howto.gumph.org/content/setup-virtual-users-and-directories-in-vsftpd/

However, when I try to login via FTP, the login fails. I solved the problem by creating a real user on the machine called "jjames", but I would like it to work without the real user.

My .htaccess file is in /etc/vsftpd/passwd, I tried creating it with and without the -m flag with the virtual user jjames.

This is my configuration information...

grep -vE "^#" /etc/vsftpd/*

/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list:jjames
/etc/vsftpd/ftpusers:root
/etc/vsftpd/ftpusers:bin

This is my PAM file... (Note: I'm not sure if PAM is even working, I did "yum install pam")

#%PAM-1.0

# Customized login using htpasswd file

Answer 1

I think you can refer to the vsftpd example which is included in the package "vsftpd".

It would be located in the directory:

/usr/share/doc/vsftpd-$VERSION/EXAMPLE/VIRTUAL_USERS

Answer 2

Use below to configure.

I have tried this on my setup & it is working as expected.
