I'm trying to configure a xerox printer to connect to a debian server (the xerox scanning capabilities means it needs a network place to send files). It connects via ftp so I had to setup an ftp server on my debian box. I installed vsftpd and when I check the log files it seems that the xerox is connecting but I can't seem to find where the files are being sent to.... any ideas?
 
I think the problem is that I haven't setup the folder to be writeable by an anonymous user....

problem is I don't know which folder it is to be able to change that, once again any help would be appreciated
 
Well, I seem to have made quite a mess of this so far. If it were windows I'd format and reinstall ;)

Does anyone know any command that will display the current list of users and groups as pertains to ftp?
 
group as per OS group, or within vsftpd?

Code:
# grep [ftpgroupnumber] /etc/passwd
where [ftpgroupnumber] is the gid for your ftp group.

To find the gid:
Code:
# grep ftp /etc/group
