How can I prevent local users from uploading files in vsftpd? I know I can prevent them from downloading files by setting the string download_enable in vsftpd.conf on "NO", is there an option for uploading files too?

It's disabled by default. In fact, getting vsftpd to allow upload is rather tricky.

For example: Allow anonymous upload for Vsftpd?

To disable it you could do any of the following:

  • anon_upload_enable=NO
  • write_enable=NO
  • Permissions on "incoming" set to disallow writes

Find "write_enable=" in vsftpd.conf

Set it to "NO", so it should look like this: write_enable=NO

Now restart vsftpd using this command: service vsftpd restart
