<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">pasv_promiscuous</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - Set to YES if you want to disable the PASV security check that ensures the data connection originates from the same IP address as the control connection. Only enable if you know what you are doing! The only legitimate use for this is in some form of secure tunnelling scheme, or perhaps to facilitate FXP support.</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">pasv_min_port</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - The minimum port to allocate for PASV style data connections.

Logging is done under the FTPD facility.</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">max_clients</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - If vsftpd is in standalone mode, this is the maximum number of clients which may be connected. Any additional clients connecting will get an error message.</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">max_per_ip</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - If vsftpd is in standalone mode, this is the maximum number of clients which may be connected from the same source internet address. A client will get an error message if they go over this limit.</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">port_promiscuous</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - Set to YES if you want to disable the PORT security check that ensures that outgoing data connections can only connect to the client. Only enable if you know what you are doing!</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">port_enable</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - Set to NO if you want to disallow the PORT method of obtaining a data connection.</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">listen_port</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - If vsftpd is in standalone mode, this is the port it will listen on for incoming FTP connections.</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">ftp_data_port</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - The port from which PORT style connections originate (as long as the poorly named connect_from_port_20 is enabled).</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">user_sub_token</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - This option is useful is conjunction with virtual users. It is used to automatically generate a home directory for each virtual user, based on a template. For example, if the home directory of the real user specified via guest_username is /home/virtual/$USER, and user_sub_token is set to $USER, then when virtual user fred logs in, he will end up (usually chroot()'ed) in the directory /home/virtual/fred. This option also takes affect if local_root contains user_sub_token.</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">hide_ids</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - If enabled, all user and group information in directory listings will be displayed as "ftp".</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">user_config_dir</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - This powerful option allows the override of any config option specified in the manual page, on a per-user basis. Usage is simple, and is best illustrated with an example. If you set user_config_dir to be /etc/vsftpd_user_conf and then log on as the user "chris", then vsftpd will apply the settings in the file /etc/vsftpd_user_conf/chris for the duration of the session. The format of this file is as detailed in this manual page! PLEASE NOTE that not all settings are effective on a per-user basis. For example, many settings only prior to the user's session being started. Examples of settings which will not affect any behviour on a per-user basis include listen_address, banner_file, max_per_ip, max_clients, xferlog_file, etc.</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">chroot_local_user</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - If set to YES, local users will be (by default) placed in a chroot() jail in their home directory after login. Warning: This option has security implications, especially if the users have upload </span>permission<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">, or shell access. Only enable if you know what you are doing. Note that these security implications are not vsftpd specific. They apply to all FTP daemons which offer to put local users in chroot() jails.</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">allow_writeable_chroot</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - Writeable enabled to specificed location by setting to = YES</span>
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">seccomp_sandbox</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> - is a computer security facility that provides an application sandboxing mechanism in the </span>Linux<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;"> </span>kernel<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; white-space: normal;">.
