vsftpd anon_root ineffective

[Kevin K]

I can't get anon_root to work for vsftpd. It seems to set the default directory, but an anonymous FTP user can chdir out of it.

Here's /jffs/configs/vsftpd.conf.add:
anon_root=/mnt/sony-thumb
no_anon_password=YES
ftpd_banner=Zing. You got here.

The other options work, so I know my vsftpd.conf.add is being processed.

How can I limit anonymous FTP users to my sony-thumb drive?

anon_root=/mnt/sony-thumb

That's your problem - see what it's really mounted as...

Asuswrt's implementation of vsftpd is completely non-standard, particularly how it handles user accounts. For example, all logged in users run as uid 1. So don't assume that just because something works in a "normal" vsftpd setup that it will work in Asuswrt, because it probably won't.
