Hello
Im using OpenMediaVault v1.6
I was trying to create a FTP share that everybody can upload files to it.
I enabled Anonymous FTP and gave the ACL to Other Read/Write /Execute to the folder.
Now i can access this folder but i can't upload files to it.
What can i do ?
Thanks
First the anonymous login is mapped to user ftp not nobody.
Second, ACL won't work if you don't have the module loaded http://www.proftpd.org/docs/modules/mod_facl.html I forgot but the module comes loaded already
Third the default configuration for anonymous does not allow write in the shares, so not even loading the ACL module you will be allowed to write to the shares with anonymous login.
Solution maybe (not tested): Create a guest account with no password that you can control/allow login with the privileges section. An account with no password has to be created in CLI not in the webUI. Make sure he has an uid higher than 1000 and belongs to users groupThis will not work
Is there an alternative ??
What i want to do is:
I've created a HTML and PHP code that uploads files to a certain directory.With ftp it looks simple (exept the part that it need write permission).
Can i do this with windows share ?
Alternative is to modify source code of omv in the proftpd mkconf file to allow anonymous to write. This will change in every omv upgrade. You can use Windows share (samba) in guest mode only. That is password less but you need permission this time to user nobody either with acl or execute a chmod 777 in the folder.
How can i modify the source code ?
I think that if i change this and dont update the system i will have no problems.
Where can i find it ?
In your working system you can directly change it.The source you can find it at sourceforge.org if you want to look at it.
Please can you be more specific on how can i do this on my existing system ??
Thanks
Take a look here
http://sourceforge.net/p/openm…mediavault/mkconf/proftpd
you'll find the line for anonymous and the limitations for writing, change that for AllowAll. You can change that /usr/share/openmediavault/mkconf/proftpd
At the directory /usr/share/openmediavault/mkconf/proftpd there are only this files :
The line of the anonymous is found on the file proftpd.conf on /etc/proftpd .
The line is
<Anonymous ~ftp>
User ftp
Group nogroup
UserAlias anonymous ftp
DirFakeUser on ftp
DirFakeGroup on ftp
RequireValidShell off
<Directory *>
HideFiles (welcome.msg)
HideNoAccess on
<Limit WRITE>
DenyAll "( ive changed this to AllowAll and uploaded the file to the server) But there is no change"
</Limit>
</Directory>
</Anonymous>
Am i doing something wrong ?
At the directory /usr/share/openmediavault/mkconf/proftpd
....
Am i doing something wrong ?
Yes. This path is wrong, you are one step too deep. /usr/share/openmediavault/mkconf is the right path and there you will find the proftpd config file for omv-mkconf proftpd.
The anonymous block starts at line 169 and according to subzero's suggestion you should change the standard value Denyall at line 181 to AllowAll. After saving the file run omv-mkconf proftpd from the CLI and try again.
If that doesn't work I can submit a version of how I managed it to allow uploads for anonymous users.
Thank you very both of you guys datadigger and subzero79.
ZitatBut i need to restart the server to make it work.[quote='datadigger','http://forums.openmediavault.org/index.php/Thread/7048-Anonymous-FTP-can-t-upload-files/?postID=65036#post65036']run omv-mkconf proftpd from the CLI
Running this didnt work
But i need to restart the server to make it work.
Yes of course, sorry I forgot to mention.
nano +181 /usr/share/openmediavault/mkconf/proftpd should leave you just there.
omv-mkconf proftpd rewrites the config at /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf, then reload the daemon service and that's it.
What I don't understand is why avoid just using a simple user with password to upload your files. You have to be aware that the user anonymous will still have no write access to the share if you change that. You need to open the folder to 777 mode or set in CLI the user ftp to have a primary group users
The basic concept of privileges and permissions is explained in the guide in my signature.
