  <pre><code># Example config file /opt/local/etc/vsftpd.conf
  #
  # The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file
  # loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable.
  # Please see vsftpd.conf.5 for all compiled in defaults.
  #
  # READ THIS: This example file is NOT an exhaustive list of vsftpd options.
  # Please read the vsftpd.conf.5 manual page to get a full idea of vsftpd's
  # capabilities.
  #
  # Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this out).
  anonymous_enable=YES
  #
  # Uncomment this to allow local users to log in.
  #local_enable=YES
  #
  # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
  #write_enable=YES
  #
  # Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,
  # if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)
  #local_umask=022
  #
  # Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only
  # has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will
  # obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.
  #anon_upload_enable=YES
  #
  # Uncomment this if you want the anonymous FTP user to be able to create
  # new directories.
  #anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
  #
  # Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they
  # go into a certain directory.
  dirmessage_enable=YES
  #
  # Activate logging of uploads/downloads.
  xferlog_enable=YES
  #
  # Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data).
  connect_from_port_20=YES
  #
  # If you want, you can arrange for uploaded anonymous files to be owned by
  # a different user. Note! Using "root" for uploaded files is not
  # recommended!
  #chown_uploads=YES
  #chown_username=whoever
  #
  # You may override where the log file goes if you like. The default is shown
  # below.
  #xferlog_file=/opt/local/var/log/vsftpd.log
  #
  # If you want, you can have your log file in standard ftpd xferlog format.
  # Note that the default log file location is /opt/local/var/log/xferlog in this case.
  #xferlog_std_format=YES
  #
  # You may change the default value for timing out an idle session.
  #idle_session_timeout=600
  #
  # You may change the default value for timing out a data connection.
  #data_connection_timeout=120
  #
  # It is recommended that you define on your system a unique user which the
  # ftp server can use as a totally isolated and unprivileged user.
  #nopriv_user=ftpsecure
  #
  # Enable this and the server will recognise asynchronous ABOR requests. Not
  # recommended for security (the code is non-trivial). Not enabling it,
  # however, may confuse older FTP clients.
  #async_abor_enable=YES
  #
  # By default the server will pretend to allow ASCII mode but in fact ignore
  # the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII
  # mangling on files when in ASCII mode.
  # Beware that on some FTP servers, ASCII support allows a denial of service
  # attack (DoS) via the command "SIZE /big/file" in ASCII mode. vsftpd
  # predicted this attack and has always been safe, reporting the size of the
  # raw file.
  # ASCII mangling is a horrible feature of the protocol.
  #ascii_upload_enable=YES
  #ascii_download_enable=YES
  #
  # You may fully customise the login banner string:
  #ftpd_banner=Welcome to blah FTP service.
  #
  # You may specify a file of disallowed anonymous e-mail addresses. Apparently
  # useful for combatting certain DoS attacks.
  #deny_email_enable=YES
  # (default follows)
  #banned_email_file=/opt/local/etc/vsftpd.banned_emails
  #
  # You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home
  # directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of
  # users to NOT chroot().
  chroot_local_user=YES
  #chroot_list_enable=YES
  # (default follows)
  #chroot_list_file=/opt/local/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
  #
  # You may activate the "-R" option to the builtin ls. This is disabled by
  # default to avoid remote users being able to cause excessive I/O on large
  # sites. However, some broken FTP clients such as "ncftp" and "mirror" assume
  # the presence of the "-R" option, so there is a strong case for enabling it.
  #ls_recurse_enable=YES
  #
  # When "listen" directive is enabled, vsftpd runs in standalone mode and
  # listens on IPv4 sockets. This directive cannot be used in conjunction
  # with the listen_ipv6 directive.
  listen=YES
  #
  # This directive enables listening on IPv6 sockets. To listen on IPv4 and IPv6
  # sockets, you must run two copies of vsftpd with two configuration files.
  # Make sure, that one of the listen options is commented !!
  #listen_ipv6=YES
  #
  # Name of pam module
  pam_service_name=ftpd`
