vsftpd.log

Post by jgarlob » 2017/10/20 14:04:21

Hello,

I came accross that vsftp logs are not present in CentOS7. VSFTPD version is 3.02, and no log file is located under /var/log. Somebody knows where are the logs from vsftpd?

Thanks. Regards

vsftpd.log is indeed in /var/log in Centos 7. The tricky part is that it only exists if you got vsftpd running!!! That means it's pretty useless for finding out why the program doesn't run.

One thing a number of people miss during the install is the creation (mentioned in the conf file) of the user 'ftpsecure'. It won't start without it!
;-)
