Masterpyro Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I have been trying to access my FTP at school to see how far my rainbow table is from completetion based on its size and after i log in, I can see everything in /home/user but after that access is denied and there is a 550 error. The ftp is ftp://masterpyro.no-ip.org and i want to get to /tools/passwords/rainbowcrack-.12/src/ to see my file. i have tried adding that to the end of the URL and that didnt work, I have used a webform to login to it and that allows me to see everything in / but still trying to change directories gives a 550 error. Im stuck, any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Where i the tools directory? Is it in /home/user/? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterpyro Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 no it is in / and i am connecting from a windows machine. if it is not possible to navigate to this directory, could i make a shortcut to it in /home/user? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 You won't want to create a shortcut, insted you want to create a symbolic link. Make sure the current working directory is currently /home/user/ and then do ln -s /tools/passwords/rainbowcrack-.12/src This will create a 'directory' in /home/user called src, when ever you cd to /home/user/src, you will actualy be accessing /tools/passwords/rainbowcrack-.12/src.

cooper Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Sounds a bit weird to me. There's nothing in the path that should make direct-access hard to do. What FTP server are you using? Try logging in with a *real* ftp client. See if you can actually get the tools directory available to you in a directory listing. Your FTP server could be configured to not let you travel outsite /blah in which case that symbolic link won't help any either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoyBoy Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 make sure to make it a symbolic link, like sparda said, or you could have some weird problems, that are more confusing than this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 550 = Access deinied? I can't remerb my error codes ;) Well, if thats the case then it's most likly becasue the root user is the owner of the files and others arn't allowed to access them. The easist option is to do (as root) chown -R user /home/user/src replacing the word user with the users actual username of course. If you sudderly find that your hash generating ceces, then it's probably becasue you change the owner ship. The easist way around that is to run the hash geneartion as the limited user rather then root. Realy that problem shouldn't occure if you are running it as root, root has compleate access to every thing weather or not the file permissons say it is allowed to or not.

cooper Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 What do you see when you access ftp://yourUser:YourPass@masterpyro.no-ip.org using your regular browser? I'm assuming you are in fact not using anonymous FTP (I've accessed it. There's nothing on there). There's a setting in your /etc/vsftpd.conf that chroots you to your home directory, meaning that every path you provide needs to be stripped from its '/home/yourUser' part. You'll see this instantly when you look at the directory listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
