Created attachment 840499 [details] An ugly, but workable patch. Description of problem: Uploading to the anonymous FTP's uploads directory is broken, using Fedora's default configuration. It's a known bug that's been reported upstream; there is a trivial workaround for the meantime. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): proftpd-1.3.4d-4.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add -DANONYMOUS_FTP to /etc/sysconfig/proftpd, where indicated. 2. Start proftpd 3. Try to upload something into the uploads directory that the rpm package sets up, by default. Actual results: $ ftp localhost Trying ::1... Connected to localhost (::1). 220 FTP Server ready. Name (localhost:mrsam): anonymous 331 Anonymous login ok, send your complete email address as your password Password: 230- *** Welcome to this anonymous ftp server! *** You are user 1 out of a maximum of 10 authorized anonymous logins. The current time here is Sun Dec 22 17:39:53 2013. If you experience any problems here, contact : root@localhost 230 Anonymous login ok, restrictions apply. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> cd uploads 250 CWD command successful ftp> put dummyfile.txt local: dummyfile.txt remote: dummyfile.txt 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||31213|) 550 dummyfile.txt: Operation not permitted ftp> 221 Goodbye. Expected results: The file should be uploaded into the uploads directory. Additional info: It's a bug in the interaction between mod_vroot, which is enabled in the default proftpd.conf that's installed by the Fedora package, and the anonymous FTP configuration. Until this is fixed upstream, the following patch will produce a workable uploads directory.
Not sure there's ever going to be an upstream fix for this. I've included the patch in proftpd-1.3.5-5.fc22 and will include it in any further updates for older releases if there are any, but I'm not convinced it's worth doing updates just for this.
