"The mind of a Mad Tech!"

1. SSH to the server that has VsFTP, and SU to it.
2. Edit file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf, find line
anonymous_enable=YES
change to
anonymous_enable=NO
3. Do /sbin/service vsftpd restart
4. Try to ftp to domain or IP without providing a user/password. Access will be rejected.

Anonymous FTP has been rejected!

If you are running vsftpd in standalone mode (not Xinetd), add the “listen_port” directive in vsftpd.conf,like this:

listen_port=222

If you are running vsftpd from an inetd or xinetd program, this becomes an inetd or xinetd problem. You must change the inetd or xinetd configuration files (perhaps /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd).
