Hi
have done all the guide said, here and madcast , but get error :
I get this error when i try connect ::

>ftp 192.168.82.1
Connected to 192.168.82.1.
500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in 'ftp_username':ftp
Connection closed by remote host.

I have add users , admin works , share works via ssl but no ftp
I now that from http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/Vsftpdthat

* Problem: When trying to ftp into the slug, it gives a message 500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in 'ftp_username':ftp""

Solution: Change the echo line in /unslung/rc.xinetd to: echo "ftp stream tcp nowait root /opt/sbin/vsftpd /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf" >>/etc/inetd.conf

But how we do in a WL500GP ?! there is no /unslung/rc.xinetd ... help please

add user ftp to /etc/passwd. For example with:

echo "ftp:x:99:99:nobody:/:/sbin/nologin" >> /etc/passwd

[MMCM]

add user ftp to /etc/passwd. For example with:

echo "ftp:x:99:99:nobody:/:/sbin/nologin" > /etc/passwd

Ooooops!

No wonder sivan_ms could not login with admin anymore, since he did overwrite the original passwd file with your command :-(

Use ">>" instead of ">" to append text!

Hi again
VSFTPD works in LAN i have enabled anonymous access because i need to stream video ( i use VLC media player) it works fine inside LAN
- I have anonymous access to my ftp from LAN whit IS , Firefox , CMD , Smartftp , VLC mm
- I have anonymous access just via CMD and Smartftp from WAN !no access by IE , Firefox , VLC mm
- when i use www.web2ftp.com/ it has access too

i can a lot now about vsftpd.conf and other stuffs in VSFTPD but steel cant understand why ?
Am i missing something .... ??

--
Is there any good media server who can stream my files to a PC outside LAN also the WAN ?
