Go into the directory where your vsftpd_v1 file is present and then do what anugrah said.

By running ./vsftpd_v1 gives an error
500 OOPS: vsftpd: must be started as root (see run_as_launching_user option)

#5

Is your problem solved??bcoz I am having the same problem.

#6

Run the command vsftpd_v1 vsftpd_v1.conf in the root to start your server

#7

What is your problem exactly?

#8

I am not able to run vsftpd_v1 even after using sudo …it is showing blank now

#9

there are many solutions . best one is goto that folder and make sure you change permissions to give ownership to root and than execute the command. or alternatively you can pass your local setted PATH variable to sudo

#11

give +x to vsftpd_v1 before
sudo ./<vsftpd> <.conf>

#12

As a security measure on Debian, /etc/sudoers has the secure_path option set to a safe value.
Hence sudo would take the value of PATH before you changed it in your .bashrc

For running the script as root chown to root and use sudo as
sudo env "PATH=$PATH" vsftpd_v1 vsftpd_v1.conf
after changing the PATH in .bashrc
It worked for me

#13

~/workspace/QBox$ sudo ./vsftpd_v1
[sudo] password for crio-user:
which password i have used here? i am not able to use the crio password. i made the vsftpd file executable still i m not able to run the server???

#14

sometimes you select blank spaces while copying password from crio workspace, make sure that you are only selecting password characters.

#15

I’m getting the same error.
tried many things to resolve the error
could u plz help with this

#16

Can you please tell me what command you are typing, also show the error you are getting as well.

The error clearly says - 500 OOPS: config file not owned by correct user, or not a file, which means the config file is not owned by the correct user.

  • Search about chown are you might find your solution.
