[Aayush Shah]

HI group
      Some one can tell me what is difference between Iptables and SE Linux in detail
       At one stage both seems to be like same
       But if i want to differentiate in Detail what points should i have describe...

[Alok Thaker]

Hi,

iptables refers to the firewall restrictions but it is not related to filesystem security like in selinux (security enhanced linux) provides you features of restricting the super user root from performing some actions which can harm the services or filesystems.

So they are quite differenent.

Thanks,

This are some steps you can follow, which might help u for new username & password:-

1) adduser user1
   passwd redhat

2) solve selinux error while login to ftp through new user.
   selinux :-  setsebool -P ftp_home_dir=1 (will allow  user1)

3) cd  /var/ftp/pub (bcze it is not anonymous user)

4) mget/mput both will work with next pc & your pc.

Hope ur problem would be solved!

You can do this by disabling anonymous access.

You can manage allow/deny users from two files which is already available in /etc/vsftpd.

File names are ftpusers and user_list. If you want to deny user then just put users in one of those file.

That's it.

 

2. How Can I upload a File On a FTP Server through Client PC ? ->Client PC will on Windows OS

You can use Open Source FTP client FileZilla. It's very nice GUI based client on both platforms Linux and Windowz....

 

->Is there any way to Upload via Browser?

Don't know about browser but without ftp clients you can upload files by below mentioned ways :-


On Linux.....,

Open Terminal -> Execute Nautiluscommand ,It will open a Nautilus Browser -> in Location tab Type ftp://<user-name>@<ip-or-site-name> Then it will ask for username and password just provide login credentials and once you login you can simply copy/paste files there.

On Windowzz......,

Open Windowz Explorer (not browser) -> In Address Bar type ftp://<user-name>@<ip-or-site-name> Then it will ask for username and password just provide login credentials and once you login you can simply copy/paste files there.

Not sure about windowzzzzzzz but it should work.

Hope it helps you.

If you want to upload only using browser then use mozilla with add-on fireftp. So It will provide you a FTP into Firefox Browser itself.

To Install FireFTP You can do following :-

1) Open Mozilla Firefox :-

2) Go to Tools -> Add-Ons

3) Click on First Tab -> Get Add-ons

4) In Search Bar Type -> FireFTP or FTP ( Only FTP Will give you some more browser based ftp clients)

5) Click on FireFTP At right side on FireFTP Selection you will get a Buttion "Add to Firefox". Just Click on That

6) Close Firefox Browser and Open Firefox Browser Again.

7) Go to Tools Section Again there you will find FireFTP option.

This can work with only Firefox in Linux and Windowzz...... Don't know about Windowzzzz based browser.

Hope this helps.
